Default RE: Need Cheap New gun that can drop a grizzly

Lets see, you want something you can plink cans with, shoot a rabbit for dinner..................AND kill a charging grizzly? IN THE SAME GUN/RIFLE?

Thats your problem right there. You want two things that are WAY on the opposite ends of the stick.

Its kinda like saying you want a Dozer and a Golf Cart in the same vehicle.[:'(]

You don't want to shoot a rabbit with a 06'. Trust me. And at most 06' (Quality) ammo being around $20+ box, you don't want to plink too many cans.

I would suggest buying a 12ga. as mentioned the Winchester 1300 would be fine. Take some slugs for the bears. And take a couple boxes of bird shot for rabbits, birds, and target shooting.

Shooting skeets, thrown cans, or anything like that can be just as fun as shooting a paper target at 100yds.

It also seems to me that as stated above, you aren't too knowledgable about guns/rifles. So, take some bear spray and at least practice with the gun/rifle that you buy. BEFORE you head out to the woods.
