It seems like there is a lot of love on HT for lever guns. A friend of mine at church today discussed bear hunting this year (fall/winter). We were both talking about different cartridges for somewhat up close bear hunting. It got me thinking of what is the best lever guns out there mainly for bears. Of course any gun can be used for other big game also. We discussed 30-30, 35, 44 mag rifle, and 45-70 although i do not know many other options.
I know that there are those of you on the East coast, and those out West that bear hunt. What say you?? Even if you don't currently own it, what would be your bucket list lever gun?
1) What is your favorite bear cartridge for up close shooting? Not thinking long range shots.
2) What brands do you own or wish you owned?
3) What has been your experience with lever guns and bears?
