[QUOTE="jensenj71, post: 2861671, member: 96797"] I was black bear hunting this spring and had 3 bears walk past me inside of 50yds without noticing I was sitting in a ground blind. Initially, I was comfortable with just having my 300NMI rifle, but after the first bear I got to thinking about finding a bear inside of 50yds within my scope. I also got stuck on the time needed to cycle the bolt for a 2nd shot. What if the bear was snooping around at 25yds? I started carrying a pistol just incase a bear got startled and charged the ground blind. I would think open sights as well as semi auto or lever action would be critical on a rifle inside of 50yds.
