Marlin Guide .45-70 accurate and precise. If that were not enough I have an old Mauser action .41 Rigby that I also know will do the job. The .41 Rigby has been known to give a sore shoulder but it is a whole let less painful than being swatted like a salmon by a grissly bear.

I'm trying to get you a picture of my Remington in 45-70. It's a classic rolling block with a tang sight on a full musket stock. I think it may have been a re-chambered .43 Spanish at one time.
I was trying at one time to keep a decent photo record of the toys. I don't know what happened other than I missed a lot and the ones I did take pictures of came out too dark.

Took me long enough. Here's the Remington. I bought it after the Quigley movie came out. I had no idea about pressures and used blackpowder with a drop tube. Later, some forgotten smokeless with packing to keep the powder next to the primer. I can't remember the final recipe. It's been a while. I probably have it written down somewhere. What will work in a rolling block may not in a lever or a trapdoor. Yeah, I know. The nickled parts look gaudy.
