[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1413228, member: 4191"] Agreed. Shooting at bear at long ranges really increases the odds of a disappointing hunting experience. Might as well take a single shot rifle, because you're likely to get a single shot only. Backup is for bear attacks more than long range, because I don't know anyone good enough to hit a bear on the go, in the open (or more likely the thick stuff), at long range. This doesn't mean it can't be done. I've gone so far as to set up a target on the distant hillside or opening where I expect the bears to appear, and confirmed zero in order to improve my odds for the first round POI. Then hunt that location until a bear shows itself. I'll protect my rifle from any bumps/impacts as if it's a fragile uncooked egg. Yet still be prepared for disappointment! [/QUOTE]
