Summer is when the bears (grizzlies) are out. Down off the mountain where the bears don't go much its often a pre-64 Winchester 94 carbine, and a Smith 24 or, recently, a Smith 19, tho I find I REALLY don't like the noise level of the 357. Up on the mountain, or on the fringes, a Browning 1886 carbine, and Ruger Vaquero 45 Colt with 325 gr loads, and once in a while, a 4" Smith 29.
Am working on a tang safety Ruger 77 in 260 cal for off the mountain, it will give more range than the 94, and be a fun longer range shooter for our steel plates. Coyotes, mountain lions and wolves all frequent the areas I go dog walking. I like having a good reach to cover them. The '06 isn't much fun to shoot with the shoulder injury.
