well i decided i need to upgrade from my 308, i would like to try hunting with a firearm with a little bit more power. looking for some thing that has easy to get ammo at reasonable prices and its has enuff power to drop a grizzly when i am hunting in grizzly country. i also want it to be light weight. price range is 1100 bucks. also looking for something with irons. with the ability of mounting a scope.
thanks.
 
338 win with 250 grn. can find ammo any where even wally world. lots of power. i like 375 but tends to be a reloaders cartridge. try a t3. plenty light.
 
I just picked up a Sako 75 .338wm with irons and a leupold scope. Look around for used deals, they are out there...
 
I think 338wm will be the best for ammo choices but with what you've said I'd go 450/400 in a ruger #1 or 375hh in a cz. Both easy to handle and bring you to a whole new power level
 
I have a T3 Lite in .338 Win Mag - it weighs 6.5lbs with a Leupold FX-II 2.5x in Millet mounts. Even with open sights (will be tough to find, unless you just get a gunsmith to put on whatever you like), a larger scope and quick release mounts you will be somewhere around 7 pounds.

It has plenty of go with 250gr Partitions, and is a nice step up from the .308, while still being manageable in the recoil department.

The other option is the Browning X-Bolt in .375 H&H; it already comes with open sights. Ammo is more expensive and harder to find.
 
I'd like to add to the list a recommendation of the 35Whelen and 9.3x63.

Neither are magnums so expect less recoil and another round in the magazine with great performance with bullets 250grs or more.

Buy this, have it bedded and cut the bbl back to 22". It would be perfect!

Don't miss checking out the new Ruger Alaskan in .375 Ruger....very well built, great sturdy open sights, and well priced...
