I've shot them with 223, 250 Savage, 358, 375 Winchester, 300 mag. Probly others I don't remember. I don't recommend the 223. Things can get exciting.

Here's next years crawling-through-the-manzanita-thickets-bear-gun that I finished recently. It's a Savage 99 in 375 Winchester with a much shortened barrel. I swapped out the straight gripped heavy wood for curved grip featherweight wood, and the straight lever for a curved one. Now it hangs on one arm like a proper levergun should. Shoots nice little groups and handles fast. Should be perfect for calling them up close.
