Der UcanRun,
Not sure what type of long range hunting you want to do for bear. Most guides/hunters are within 100 yards for most especially if hunting from a tree stand. I believed that was the purpose of the rifle for bear hunting.
I have always thought of 7 mm Mag as a high powered 30-06 essentially best for deer and other such critters.
No one can make up your mind for you, but for bear, I would have thought of something a little bit higher powered. Perhaps you are looking for a multi-use rifle which the 7 mm mag certainly presents.
Good luck,
Alaska.
