If I was going to be facing Brown bears it would be with a .375 H&H or bigger.
45/70 lever for me
And what would you do if the bear you just hit at 40 yards was cresting the hill 250 yards away? Back-ups sometimes have to shoot a lot farther than ideal...
I'm building 35 W soon. But if I had to be in thick brush hunting bear and moose more than not 45/70 level will be just fine. I'm lookin at quick follow up shot if bear doesn't like the first one and decides to come at me. If I have to shoot 250 yard with it, guess I'll have to aim 3' feet high
Picking a cartridge with severe limits in a reasonably likely scenario never made sense to me, but that is what makes the World go around I guess...
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
