He claimed he could rapid fire by fanning the hammer and keep all shots on a pie plate at 100 yards. And yes, he did plan on shooting at bears in self defense from 100 yards out.
But his Marlin 1895 in .45/70 was his main choice. He keeps like a 300 gr bullet chambered, the rest are the 'bear loads', so when he sees a bear, the first thing he will do is jack that wimpy 300 gr round out and chamber the big boys.
