Does Savage make truly big bore rifles? The largest caliber rifle I can find is a .338. I'd love to go on a bear hunt with a Savage but I want more power.

Theu used to make a 458 win mag "Safari" rifle. Not anymore.
you may be able to find one on gunbroker.
The 338 certainly will work for bears. You could always buy one of them and have a barrel made in the caliber you want and change it out.

I live and hunt in Alaska. You can purchase a barrel in just about anything your heart desires up to the 460 Weatherby.
338 Win Mag or the 338 Rum will do you just fine. If not try a 375 Ruger.

they make a 375 h&h too
I think that you should build 416 Ruger. Then If you get tired of it, I can buy the barrel from you. ;D

The question was "does Savage make a truly big bore?" What constitutes a big bore? I don't believe a 338 or 375 is considered a big bore. Now of course a 338 or 375 will do the job. but the man asked about a big bore! So there! :P ;)
Most authorities consider the 375 to be the beginning of "big bore". As was mentioned, they no longer make one but the OP could with a barrel/bolt head swap.
