    I never us a 45/70..

    Last close call was with Big bore, his brother Rob..on the south side of Kwatna bay when a HUGE mom a grizzlies and her 2 2 year old juvenile delinquents decided to charge the 3 of us...I never felt under gunned with the shotgun...
    In practice I could separate a tree big round as my thigh with 2 shots...

    Glad you made it out, between the grizzlies and all the native troubles you have, lucky one of them didn't get you. You must be a master military tactician to make it out alive.

    Nah, Steven is just a serious, highly experienced bushman and you could learn a lot by reading his posts carefully.

    I wasn’t alive yet in ‘65 (I’m a ‘68 model), but I bought my first gun as a teen at Harvs Outdoor in Kelowna. It was a 1911 built Winchester 1894 in .30 WCF. I still have that gun in my safe, along with 2 Henrys and 2 Marlins. I don’t shoot the old ‘94 anymore, but I’ll never sell it.
