NO WHERE did I ever "Dismiss" a 450 pound bear as any thing other then dangerous or less dangerous! Your looking for things in my posts that don't exist and then taking issue with them! Yes, a .30/06 would work just fine, but with in a very narrow set of limits, NOT within what the O.P Posted of 50 yards which with ANY PREDATOR, IS DANGER CLOSE!
Typical Savage 111, scoped for long range hunting, thus a very poor choice! Note the lack of good Fast Iron sights!
Just how fast do you think you could run the gun and get off all 4 shots and put any of them in the vitals, and remember, thats 50 yards and closing fast!
Bears are not like any other Predators, Bears only respond to pain or convincing them that it's not going to end well if they charge! And once a Bear in in attack mode, the only way to stop one is to put it down, or cause intense and debilitating pain!
To put what the O.P. is talking about in perspective, watch this video!
