Post by: edmondshunter on December 15, 2007, 01:15:22 PM: seems a bit shy of 445lbs, Id guess maybe 350lbs live, not the best pic for my guess but, good bear all the same.

Anyone else think 5 is a little young for a riffle big enough for that bear? My oldest son is 9, and he can barely hold an adult .22lr steady even with sticks. Just my 2 cents

What makes you think that the 445lbs. was a guess? Maybe they weighed the thing :dunno:
I was shooting a 300 Weatherby Mag and bigger when I was 4 so I don't think it is a little young and it really depends also on the maturity of the child at those young ages. Some kids are raised around guns from day 1.
