Gotta be a (preferably older) Marlin .45-70... Nothing stands up to that.
However, the manufacturer that names their rifle a "guide gun" can be wrong.This.
For up-close Grizz, there are few better options than a fast-handling guide gun with modern loads. All those guides can't be that wrong!

.350 RM... but you are out of brass Phil...![]()
would a pump 5 shot 12 guage slug gun be good bear medicine.

Please tell us how you would like going for a world class Dall sheep on the ridge 300 yards away with your 45-70?
This thread was supposed to be about an all around rifle for the Yukon, not another bear defence farce.
if now we have answer that make sense where are we heading ... thanks for your view and seen what we can meet here ...
The answer is in the first post, the stainless Winchester Model 70 in 30-06 calibre.
An excellent ALL AROUND calibre and rifle for all hunting in the Yukon.
OK, if he is going in particular to that tiny pocket in the Yukon where extra big grizzlies may be found, he may want a larger calibre. But most likely there have been more grizzlies killed with a 30-06 than any other calibre.
I might be going to work in the Yukon next spring, not really sure of the area. Is 375 ruger available in Whitehorse? Most places I've been in the north have a pretty limited selection. I don't even live that far north/remote and here it's all 270, 30-30, 30-06. 300 wsm I see sometimes, but I am not a huge fan of the caliber don't know if this means I would dislike the 375 as I have never shot it.
