YES! According to AmmoLand News: Bella Twin, the .22 Used to Take the 1953 World Record Grizzly.
Would you use a .22 on a Grizzly?

I don't trust the ignition reliability of the 22LR. I'd much rather use a 9mm for big bears.

Only if the alternative was a pointed stick and harsh words.

It's a well known fact, which I've stated before, that it ain't sport in taking a grizz until you can smell its breath. Basically, that's what the lady did.

A .22 L.R. has killed pretty much any animal you can think of at one time or another. It not the best choice or recommended but when that's all you have and you have no other choice you use what you have and hope for the best.

It was not a long rifle. It was a long. Well, if my memory is working (I didn't go to the link) it was actually nine longs. Single shot rifle, nine shells.
Your choice but you better "Run Forest Run".
Hiked the Avalanche Trail, in Glacier couple years ago and saw on the Park site the today that the trail is closed due to >>>> BEAR<<<<. Don't think I would push my luck.

Yes, but it would be to shoot my hiking partner in the leg.

Yes, a 22 can kill a Griz as a last resort. If the bear has swallowed you AND the gun, shoot him in the heart as you pass on your way to the stomach. It's an easy shot.

Something I hope to never experience; killing a griz with a .22 long.

I was thinking the same thing except as he swallows, shoot up into the brain from the inside.
Well this sort of hits the killing vs stopping power debate.
It might kill the grizz but doubt it would stop the grizz from doing anything it wanted to do for along time. So in that case the little .22 would be a double killer, the bear and the previous owner of said 22 weapon.

Why use ANY weapon when it's just not necessary ??????????
