Beautiful, reliable, and rugged shotguns. Good luck. Hopefully you'll find one at a great price!

If anyone has some 8x57JS SMKH ammo available, please let me know. Thanks.

It's 100% individual choice. Lead is always more economical and has heavier options over monolithics. I personally don't see myself ever going back to lead but do wish there were some effective non-toxic options available for .22 LR.

225 GR TSX no questions asked. That and or the 200 GR TSX. I don't even know how lead bullets are staying relevant in this day and age especially in hunting situations. I don't know about the meat quality on Alberta bears but I assume you likely won't be eating it however for hunting bears that...
