Tell me why buying a Rifle chambered in 6MM Remington is stupid

I only lost one moose with my 6mm. And that was MY fault. I still say it's incredibly underrated.
On a side note, with the grizzly talk above, what do you guys think the required energy is required for such a beast? (NO, I'm NOT considering a 6mm!!!) :A Whacky:
 
As far as Alaskan brown bears go (it's not been legal to hunt grizzlies in the lower 48 since 1973 I think) I defer to Phil Shoemaker who has on many occasions said the 30-06 is a reasonable minimum. Having seen and killed one up close with a 375 H&H, I think with good shot placement and a premium bullet a 180g to 220g bullet in a 30-06 should do the job. The closer you are, the smaller it will seem though.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

What is the minimum you would take.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
