Re: Grizzly backup 45/70 or 12 gauge
Just use the gun you plan to use for moose hunting. If you're asking about a camp gun, either will do. I prefer good ole .12 gauge loaded with slugs.

Well after much research and comments, pms, and suggestions/comparisons I went with a 45/70. Thank you to all who helped me with my decision. I got a marlin 1895 GS stainless steel. Will be taking it out this weekend hopefully to sight in then it’s with me 24-7. I love everything about the gun and Cabela’s has it now for only $899. Don’t go to Nanaimo I bought the last one. Once I have it sighted in and I am confident with it I will be taking it as my bear backup, and possibly christening it on a big island black bear.

Congrats on the new rifle. You will enjoy it for sure.
I sold my gbl some years back and just replaced it with the new 16” dark series. Such a great rifle.
I’m running the 400gr Speer at 1800 in my rifle now. It’s got some wallop.

No doubt you made the right choice.

Make sure you take your time and pick your shot.
When in doubt, just pin it.

If you're sensitive to recoil look into a rifle or a shoulder pad.
Personally I have no problem with any of my rifles re: recoil.
When shooting the 540gr I hold the rifle considerably tighter against the shoulder.
Remember taking the Defender to the range firing my 1st 3" Brenneke. Didn't hold the shotgun tight & got a bleeding cut on my forehead.

Last season made me realize that I need to spend a bit more time and be a bit more careful selecting rifles scopes and learning about accuracy. I’ve also spent a great deal of time this off-season practising my breathing and trying to learn how to slow my heart rate etc. while shooting. I am shooting sub MOMA at 200 yards and just a little outside of it at 300 with the 6.5 Creedmoor. I am definitely more confident than I was last season in my rifle. Turns out the rifle I had had quite a few issues that I wasn’t aware of. All in all it’s been a good off-season I’ve put a ton of practice time in and rounds in and I feel like it has made a huge difference I am very confident now and ready for the new season. With the new 4570 I’ve got it sighted in well at 100 yards and surprisingly I didn’t find the recoil that bad with the Hornady 325 grain bullets. I find it quite easy to shoot cycle and load it is very quick to aim and very accurate.
