I would much rather have the 94 in 30-30 than any handgun people carry for bear protection


A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

Grizzlies can weigh anywhere from 200 to over 1600 pounds.
A 200 pound bear doesn't require any larger caliber to reliably kill than a 200 pound deer, while a 1600 pound brown bear is as heavy and dangerous as a 1600 pound cape buffalo !
Sure they can be killed with most any caliber with careful shot placement but a wise hunter would be well advised to carry something using a premium bullet with good SD.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.

I wouldnt care to have any of this crap and a 30-30 in hand would have killed a freaking bear.

That will wake you up! I have never felt more alive than when in close proximity to a big brownie, when I lived in Kodiak.

That was a .44/40 because Clint said so in the dialog. The script said the bear dies, so it and the knife he delivered a few strategic fissures with, worked.
