The Original Bear Medicine - Model 71 Winchester in .348 WCF. It will make Brother Bruin lie down pronto. It's short and handy with a very fast action, so you can grab it in a hurry at 3 a.m.
My dad bought it for my mom to go hunting on Kodiak. He was going to get a custom rifle in .375 H&H, but mom turned up pregnant with moi, so they never went.
Dad will occasionally look at me, and sigh, and ask, "Why couldn't you wait til I got the H&H?" Oh, well, that's the breaks. At least I reload the .375 ammo for him!
