[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1599489, member: 75451"] If I have to choose one or the other, for an “up close and personal” encounter with a bear...I’ll take a large caliber magnum revolver, shooting heavy for caliber, hard cast wide metplat bullet over a bolt action rifle! Though I personally feel that carrying both to be impractical (tried it when I was much younger and tougher), and would never drop my rifle and draw the handgun. I ain’t Jerry Miculek ....and would likely “never clear leather”! It’s kinda like, “a bird in the hand or two in the bush”! If I have that much time....I can make a kill shot with the rifle. In many bear attacks, it happens so quickly, no shots are fired. Obviously, we all have our personal opinions. When hunting with my 460 S&W, I don’t carry a rifle for back-up! memtb [/QUOTE]
