A friend and I were having a debate on what we thought what kind of firearm weapon it would take to disable or kill a mad grizzly bear who attacked you in the woods if it was truly life threatening and you couldn't run away and escape. I told him I thought a .22 magnum up to a .38 pistol with a minumum of 6 shots could take down an adult grizzly bear, probably a powerful female.

Now I am not a hunter and have no desire to harm any animal in the wilderness, but I was curious about firearms. My friend laughed and said a 22 or .38 would only make the bear madder and wouldn't do much to disable it, unless you might get a lucky shot through the bear's eyes or ear.

Anyone know how much firepower it would take to disable a bear attack?

Hi, I'm in the market for a 6.8 SPC AR-15 and I was looking at a few different makers. I'm especially interested in Rock River Arms, but I've heard some very different opinions on them and the website doesn't give me as much information as I would like. If any of you could help me out by telling me some of the features..ie M4 style feed ramp? on Rock River Rifles I'd appreaciate it. Thanks

I was thumbing through a sporting goods catalog recently and was slightly amused/horrified to see fake geese, a fake cow, all manner of subterfuge to make hunting animals easier. I thought the whole point of hunting was the challenge. Between canned hunts and all these silly fakes, where's the sport?

For the record, I'm not a hunter, but hunting is legal and protected. I respect that right. And I do appreciate that someone else killed that cow I had in burger form.

I think it is weird that someone would only list hunting as a more stressful activity than a treadmill. Aren't there a lot of activities that strain the heart more than a walk on a flat surface? Yet they seem to single this out, with no real groundbreaking data or stunning statistics. I dunno. What do you guys think?

Can you recommend a good brand name/ model / caliber, etc. I don't want to go over 200 bucks, if possible.

Also, I'm not sure whether to get semi-auto or revolver. I like the look of revolvers better than semi-automatics.

Can any experienced shooters help me out?

I have a tent, air mattress, sleeping bag, a lantern and some bug spray for each of us (myself and my son). What would you recommend I add? I am thinking cooking gear, something simple. We probably won't be camping more than 2-3 days at a time, usually for weekend events like a Renaissance Faire, so not too far from a store, but would like to have breakfast handy, at least. Any other recommendations gear wise? Thanks!

I have seen some at gun shows going for as much as $1200 (with all the extra barrels). Are they really worth this much?
I have a Dan Wesson .357 six shot Revolver with a 7 1/2" barrel..in very good to excellent condition...any ideas what price it would bring?
