I was drooling over the Sako bears series of rifles and got to thinking about the available barrel lengths vs caliber options.
The question that came to mind is, what do y'all think are some of the most powerful short barreled hunting rifle cartridge options?
For example, the handy .308 Winchester options in 20'' looked nice, but the .300 and .338 Win Mag require longer barrels to achieve optimum utility from the cartridge.
If you were bear hunting in heavy brush and wanted to use a bolt action rifle, what would some of "heavier" options be that don't sacrifice a tremendous amount of function from short barrels?
