KIMBER MOUNTAIN ASCENT .308-165 Nosler Accubond
Leupold Vx3 3.5-10
Ultralight and easy handling mountain gun best investment I've made. Shoots great too

Remington model 673 in .350 rem mag.  Two bears to its credit so far.

I have no desire to ever hunt bear with a rifle.  Bow only for me.  Love hunting bears!!

 Here's mine. Clear cut and bush capable. Mostly loading Sierra 225's BT, or Speer 250's, @2800fps and 2600fps, respectively.
