“Another successful pistol defense against bear story.”

Yup, good story. I’m guessing in the future though there will be five rounds in the cylinder. Btw, just a minor observation; in the article the shotgun is referred to as a Remington 700 bolt action. The 700 is a pump. Like I said, a minor observation but kinda surprising for a Ammo Land article.

Did a search on the page, and the word "shotgun" is written only once, and it's there describing the guns the fish and wildlife guys were carrying. The Remington 700 is a bolt-action rifle, and in case, was chambered in 6.5mm-.06 caliber. The Remington pump shotgun you're thinking of is the 870.

The 870 is Remington's pump shotgun. The 700 is a rifle - the article even mentioned the chambering, which, at 6.5mm - '06, was definitely not a 12 gauge.

I have never been able to locate the pump mechanism on my bolt action Remington 700 chambered in .243 Win.

I’ll look again.

Rem 76/74, 760/740, 7400/7600 etc are semi & pump, 731, 7s, 700s are bolt guns, kinda surprising, huh?

Didn’t read ahead. Didn’t mean to pile on.

I too piled on ungraciously. I too have been the victim of age and not enough coffee.

Mea Culpa.
