Especially under pressure with limited moments until bad things happen. I shot a huge black bear at point blank outside my cabin door 7 years ago, and I didn't grab a .243 lol. A 45-70 is appropriate in such times

Similar close range dealings with bears. Not with the 348, but in those moments it would have passed muster.

I know a guy that has a model 71 Winchester that now identifies as a 450 Alaskan. Thirty inch octagon barrel, with full length magazine tube. grin

I actually just found a 71 Winchester barrel in 348 in my garage today.


I have nothing clever to put here.
