Hey all with returning to bush flying possibly this summer I am thinking of grabbing a lever action rifle to carry in the plane just in case a bear finds me or my cargo tasty. I am leaning towards the Browning BLR in a take down model. I am just not sure about the caliber. Lots of folks are saying the 450 marlin is a good cartridge. I am not 100% sold on it. I am afraid that it may be come an orphaned cartridge. Seems the 45-70 would be a better choice. Is there another cartridge the BLR is chambered for that would be suitable for stopping a charge?
