I'm photo challenged, so draw upon your imagination. My proven and trusted black bear rifle is a 1969 vintage Remington 700 in 350 Rem. Mag. with a 4x33 IOR Valdada scope with a German #1 reticle. An "also ran" that I haven't taken a bear with is my Marlin 444 with a Leupold 3x30 FX-II scope. Last year I alternated between them, but didn't get a shot. I'll use both again this year.
