What rifle for Caribou & Bear hunt

Looking for any insight. I am planning a Canadian Caribou/Bear hunt this year. I have a .338 win mag, and a 7mm Ultra mag. If it were you, what rifle would you use for the Hunt, and also what bullet selection would you make? I don't reload, so I will be purchasing factory ammo.

Thanks in advance for any advise!!!!

Take which ever one you shoot the most accurate, the 165 grain bullet will be sufficient for both animals and will give you good ballistics.

ya go with the 7mm rum. if u use the 140gr partition u should be able to get a mighty flat shooting bullet and it's plenty for bear and bou's!
