Fellows he said "Black Bear in MN", not Kodiac Brown Bear. You guys have got to be kidding when you say the 30-30 is inadequate for black bear?? I would much rather have a fast second shot from a lever in 30-30 if I need it, rather than a slower bolt action that a new hunter would most certainly pull off target to function the bolt!!

A lot of hunters knock the 30-30 lever action. And that is a mistake IMO. The 30-30 is one fine cartridge in a fast handling lever action. And the rig will not break the bank. Tom.
