Howdy fellers. Probably didn't provide enough info in my first post. I talked to the guide by phone after this. Shooting the bears on the beech is standard practice. This one just went the wrong way quick. The purpose of the new rifle with the Leupold and more shots is to make the shots like he was faced with much easier. The original rifle wasn't scoped but the norm was to go into thickets with the bears where it was the perfect tool. The new rifle with the QDRs handles the long and short shots perfectly.

9ThreeXFifty7- I am not the guide. I am a avid hunter and a crop sniper for the state.

Hope that clarifies a little. What is your favourite lever action and calibre by the way?

My favorite is my LTD-V 45-70 that you see in the video. Shoots 3 shot groups under an inch with nearly any bullet. Perfectly balanced and fast handling. Topped with a VariX-III 1.75X6 heavy duplex. I have no problem heart shooting deer at 300 yards with it. They only built 1000 of them and mine is a low 2 digit serial number. Not only is it one of my favorite leverguns it is one of my favorite rifles. My current favorite bolt gun is my .416 Taylor built by Gatlin Guns and my favorite single shot is my Ruger #1 .416 Rigby. All are great shooters. I have another levergun that has grown on me quite a bit. A .450 Guide Gun topped with a V3. Quite a little power house. I have been shooting the 550gr and 420gr Craters and the Nosler 300PP. All shoot great from it. It will make 4000flbs and is nearly as handy as carrying a pistol. reflex264
