This year, I will be taking my new .308 Ruger Predator. Not sure I will call it my favorite yet; though I can see it will be one of my favorites.

In the past I have used a Winchester 88 (.308) and a Marlin 336 (30-30). I like hunting bear with lever guns, but choose the gun based more on where the hunt will be (terrain) and expected weather.

They are all my favorites. Its hard to leave all but one at home. :'(

Remington 710 30-06 (AKA THE WAR AXE :chuckle:) I bought at GI joes with some $25 gift safety gift cards from work.  Amo? Whatever is on sale, or I find in the garage. :chuckle:.......somehow I manage a little success every now and then :chuckle:
