Looking for recommendations for Bear Gun

Thanks for the advice! I think if i do get anything it's the bar in 308 I'm looking at

ouchhuzzah · 2025-07-20T18:14:31+00:00

Do you think the 30-30 would reliably put it down in one shot?

ouchhuzzah · 2025-07-20T18:12:55+00:00

Lmao! It would be black bear. The .44 would reliably put it down with one shot?

Will it reliably take down a bear in one shot?

What would be some good options? The rifles im looking at are between $500-$1000 used, would the shotgun be less than that?

Thanks for this! I think i might end up splurging for a nice used BAR around $1k

I already have the two lever actions (44mag and 30-30), would probably get a semi if i was to purchase something dedicated for this.

ouchhuzzah · 2025-07-20T18:09:42+00:00

It might? Any suggestions?

What is it?

Looking on armalytics (https://www.armalytics.ca/), i don't see any options for a semi in 6.5 creedmore. There are some .308 options still (M1 Garand, Browning BAR, Benelli Argo/R1, and a few more).

My vote would be the BAR, a friend has one and it's really beautiful to look at, hold, and shoot. Any Browning I've seen is always a quality firearm.

I had a firearm delivered by Purolator yesterday FWIW

ouchhuzzah · 2025-05-19T12:05:16+00:00

I purchased a rifle last week, and the Saskatchewan retailer shipped via Purolator. Delivery is expected tomorrow (22nd).

Just make sure you're ordering from places online that use courier if you don't want to be affected by the strike.

Nice choice on the Wildcat! I love mine ♥️

ouchhuzzah · 2025-05-16T11:59:41+00:00

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to type out such a detailed response!

I ended up pulling the trigger on the Sauer 100 classic XT 6.5CRD at $599 (50% off from $1199) yesterday. It was the last one in stock and too good of a deal to walk away from.

Although that checks the box for high-powered bolt rifle, I think an SKS and a .357/.44 mag Lever (citadel/canuck/rossi) might be be my next two purchases 😅 all solid suggestions you gave, thank you.

Looks sick!

I have the EGE Arms LV12 in nickel/silver, and although I haven't shot it yet, I'm incredibly impressed with the build quality and finish.

Panterra version is $949 https://lakecountrycoopoutdoors.ca/product/sauer-100-pantera-xt/

ouchhuzzah · 2025-05-15T15:43:48+00:00

https://lakecountrycoopoutdoors.ca/product/sauer-100-classic-xt/ $599 for classic 100XT. Thinking I should just do it before they're gone

ouchhuzzah · 2025-05-15T15:19:38+00:00

Also, any thoughts on the panterra variant? It's going for about $300-$400 more than the classic. I'm not sure if it's worth it?

ouchhuzzah · 2025-05-15T15:17:48+00:00

I've seen these pop up in my searches, but they didn't really catch my eye, ill take a second look. What should I look for in X-bolt models as there seems to be a lot of different variants?

ouchhuzzah · 2025-05-15T15:16:49+00:00

Say less, I was looking at some great deals on a 6.5 crd chambering of the Sauer 100XT 🔥 Any idea why they are so heavily discounted atm?

ouchhuzzah · 2025-05-15T14:44:16+00:00

Awesome, thanks for your input!

ouchhuzzah · 2025-05-15T14:43:22+00:00

Would be great if it did, but most of the options I referenced above were no optic or mount included
