[QUOTE="Tommytrees, post: 2198499, member: 114552"] All of the above from Calling 4 Life is good info. I've used 405 gr hard cast only for bear in my Marlin. Get the best hard cast out there. If you have to shoot an attacking bear it will likely be quick and real close. My eyes are old and iron sights don't work so well for me so I use a top quality red dot. Quick and easy for me. Carry bear spray up front on belt or whatever for quick access. IF a bear sees you and keeps on the approach you had better know what to do, and when to do it , very possibly no time to think. Have the proper mindset before you hunt. It must be instinctive reaction. Bear are amazingly silent, stealthy, strong and also when on the attack can go from 0- 35 mph in a blink. [/QUOTE]
