[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1413373, member: 12443"] Well we do use guns with magazines for bear, but we don't for deer. The pulse rate is definatly higher on bears, and not having to fumble around with rounds is a help. My Rem action will only hold 2 plus the one chambered with that cartridge anyway, and after that i single feed if necessary. But as you said, you have to be absolutely ready, when and if it happens. We know the ranges at least very close at the places we hunt, so we don't need to take time to range, which is apt to be changing in a hurry anyway. I don't dial that scope either, it has an old Premier multi dot reticle programed for that cartridge/load. So its just hold and shoot, with no time loss dialing/redialing. And just as we do with deer, we always use a spotter on tripod mounted glasses for calling shots. And that is no doubt the most important thing for any long range hunting, but especially so with bears. Everything has to go right, and its very easy for it to go wrong. [/QUOTE]
