A local store here in Alaska has the 460 XVER in an 83/8 inch barrel and I am considering purchase for Bear protection.
We hunt in Collinsville once a year and encountered a griz and a black bear last year while moose hunting on separate days, each time from a good distance. The grizzly is now in my buddy’s den.
We get around on six wheelers with my 338 Win Mag across my back which is not quickly accessible for a shot in a bear attack. I’m considering the 460 with a Galco chest holster for a real put down weapon over the hot loaded 10mm I currently wear.
Should I ever discharge that thing without ear protection is that permanent damage to my hearing pretty much?
