[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 1818989, member: 96251"] Definitely take the 45-70 change out the optics though. Get something with lots of light gathering capabilities. An illuminated reticle wouldn’t be bad either . We run bear with hound here in Wv last season the group we hunt with killed 16 total seen them shot with everything from a 243 to the 45-70 you’ve mentioned . The deadliest I seen one killed this past year was a little boy I believe 6 years old with a 7mm08 . Thought we were going to have to climb the tree to get mr bear out. But he finally kicked a time or so and out he came. The one gentleman we hunt with has a 45-70 he sometimes back up shoots with it flat stomps a bear for sure . Seen his daughter shoot one in early season with it . One shot and done [/QUOTE]
