Hey Yall, New guy here. This is my first day. I was given a Marlin 336 by my father in law and took a doe last year. Im planning a black bear hunt next year and I'm using it as an excuse to buy a new rifle. I've decided on 45-70. My question is which one. 18.5" guide gun, 22" or 24"xlr. I dont plan to scope it or shoot past 150 yards at anything. Also what ammo is good bear medicine. Recoil is not a problem. I've been a shooter all my life just not a big game hunter. Is the Leverevolution ammo all it's suppose to be?
