This bear was shot with a scoped .284, but that's a iron sighted 38-55 in the photo.
The reason is I shot the bear from the top of the canyon and watched him die (also heard his death moan which sucked btw). I went back to the truck for a packframe and the 38-55 is easier to carry down the canyon than the scoped 284, and I weren't going down there with no rifle.
