[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2409855, member: 313"] I've taken many black bears with a 45-70 because I think it's just about perfect. However, my outfitter has a guy who hunts bear with him every year with a 22-250. I told him, "that's ridiculous"; but he said the guy is successful every year. Moral to the story: Use whatever you've got - anything out of a 7 mag is MORE than enough for a blackie. More important is what optic you've got on that rifle. Black bears appear out of nowhere, stand in the shadows and could be hard to locate in a 4x scope when they're 15yds away. [/QUOTE]
