My prejudice is well known.
Lever Action in 45-70 or 50 Alaskan.
I took 3 Cape Buff with the first and a Black Bear with the second.

They're handy, versatile and lots of fun to shoot. Additionally, you can get a .22 in the same configuration and sights for cheap practice.

A classic alternative, though not quite as versatile, is a Shiloh Sharps....VERY cool.
