Say I wanted a elk/moose/bear/deer/hog gun. This gun would have to have enough power to make a charging grizzly change his mind. It would have to be compact and packable. Tough enough to take a little bit of a beating. And I wouldn't put a scope on it so shots would be no further than 100-150 yards at the most. I was thinking of the marlin 444 lever action. What do ya'll think? Maybe a 45-70? Or even a remington 700adl in 30-06 with 220 grain bullets? So many calibers, so little money to spend! I'm not thinking of buying anything soon, just wanting some ideas.
