[QUOTE="BillM, post: 3817353, member: 45785"] One of my step-fathers was a guide in Alaska in the 50s or earlier. Told about a guy who was using a 30-06 semi-auto Remington rifle (740?) to hunt Grizz. Shot one about 200 yards away. Repeatedly. Reloaded and did it again, twice more as the bear charged him. Bear killed him before it died. I love the 30-06 cartridge, though I prefer bolt-action rifles myself. 1903 Springfields, not Remingtons, but I want a 12ga. slug gun with an extended mag for backup in such a situation. I've had arthritis since I was 17, so Alaska has never really been a possibility for me, but I sure considered it back before then. I was 10, in 1965, when he told me this story, so I may have misremembered, lost, or exaggerated details including distance over the years since. Bill [/QUOTE]
