This is one I took last week.



Not a great pic, but this is a brown bear track near my black bear bait station. You can see the track goes from barrel tip to the crane swivel, & if you look just right you can make out a toe nail or two.
The mod 29 barrel is an 8&3/8", so the bear should be a solid 9 footer (normal estimater is take the track in inches, & add 1 for the squared bear size in feet. Some guides say add 2, but I go with the add 1 so I don't feel like I'm cheating!). We can't shoot brownies

The gun is a plain Jane shooter/working gun. It's a -4 model, 30mm Ultra Dot 4 sight, Weigand base & rings, Mag na port 4 port rifle style porting, Hogue grips.
Hopefully in the next year or so a local smith will do a satin re-blue for me.
Normal load is 300 or 320 hardcast @ 1300-1346 fps. The load in it that day was the 1346 fps load.
