[QUOTE="Murph1951, post: 2198550, member: 115291"] Using a 45/70 for large(?) bear would be ok for a very experienced guide and a **** good shot. When fishing Alaska I would always have my 30-06 loaded up with 220 grain Woodleigh Weldcore bullets. As I aged I started bringing my Remington 6oo in 350 magnum with 250 grain bullets. I was lucky because I never had to shoot a bear, came close a couple of times. These bears are not big, they are freakin' huge. I still felt undergunned when one would come close. Also no scope on either gun because if trouble happens it will be up close and very, very personal. [/QUOTE]
