Trying to narrow down my rifle choice for Black Bear over Bait. So far Marlin 1895 45/70 I have 325 gr FTX or Grizzly 405gr Hard Cast, Marlin 35 Rem, 200 Rem Round nose or 200 gr FTX, 16" AR-10 with 165 gr Gamekings. Maybe 308 BLR with 165 gr Gamekings. This i just the ammo I have on hand now. I have shot 2 Bears Bothe with Rem 760 30-06 180 Partitions. I have many more rifles and calibers but these are the ones I am thinking about taking.
