once you kill a bear in wv you cannot carry a firearm on a bear hunt.

The 458 socom is a 50 AE magnum handgun case, stretched from 1.3 to 1.7", necked to 45 cal. and the rim turned to 30/06 size, it runs a 300 gr bullet at around 2300 fps from a 20" barrel, basically a mid level 45/70 in an AR.


anything on the receiving end of the 458 is not having a good day
this use to be my preferred bear rifle, till a guy offered me too much money for it, browning reproduction of the Winchester 71 carbine, took a pile of game with it, oh it was chambered 348 win.
