way back in the day, we saw a tv star weilding his 30-30 to kill a grizzley.
he was a big dude, and quite the hero.
but, i can't remember his name, or the tv show. but i sure watched it one sunday evening.

Well I would bet the plenty of Grizzly's fell to the 30-30 over the years.

See the thread of "How long will I live" and enter 30-30 + grizzly bear. What that life expectancy drop.

It is said that more Grizzlies have been dropped by a 170 grain 30-30 than any other round. In Canada at one time it was the Grizzly stomper per excellence because the model 94 and the 30-30 were the rifle and cartridge that most sourdoughs and Indians had in the back forty.
I always wanted a model 94 in 38-55 but I was never able to find one. It would have been my stomper for everything I hunted back in the day.

GTC Yep, the 303 British was the rifle in the hands of most of the British empire, or those who fought as Brits. Australia, Canada, New Zeland, The old 303 was it. Same reasons the 45-70 and later the 30-06 were the mainstay of American rifles. I vaguely remember a line in that movie where the actor says "The 44/40 should do it."

Sure do hope he files that front sight off, so when the bear shoves that 30-30 up his ass, it won't hurt quite so much. I'm nuts, but even I wouldn't go that light.
Back in the heartland, Thank God!

I'd have to say by a ratio of at LEAST 10 to 1, as regards the Win 94 in ANY caliber.

Les, the .30-30 will WORK.
In the absence of any PRESSING need, e.g. Self Defense, Hunger, etc, this is a GODDAM STUNT, with the potential for an inhumane kill.
Big Bears are really fine animals, and don't deserve that kinda' azzing around.

Oh I know it will work, but you would have to get way closer than I would want. I would at least want a 35 Rem, or a 250 Savage.
