.338 Win Mag, .338/378 Weatherby, .375 H&H, .375 Ruger... if including brown bear.
Just curious as I have no experience with brown bear and have never owned a .338 Win Mag.

I would suggets the .338 mag but since you mentioned you were not a mag fan then how about (and it is something that I have back ordered), a .357 Marlin lever action gun?

I think I'll have to chime in here for the 338 Federal. I have a Tikka T3 Synthetic, blued. It doesn't kick any more than a 30-06 and as mentioned earlier has very close to ballistics of 338 Win Mag. I also like the 338 RCM, but would wait a little while to see if it catches on especially if you don't reload.
