I have a couple of questions. 1.) is this model a dark brown color? (stock)2.) Does it have the bear safety? By the underlever?

1. yes, a medium orangish-brown. 2. NO, no external bear trap release, it does have a internal bear trap pawl but it is automatic and once fully cocked it releases. there is no trigger safety and no bear-trap release lever. I think it is supposed to release the pawl when the cocking lever is returned to position but I do not trust that at all. Always, always hold the cocking lever when inserting a pellet with this gun. Shoots nice otherwise. I do wish there was a automatic trigger safety.

No safety but my ten-year-old has been able to use it in a safe manner. In my opinion, it is a good idea to train to not put a finger on a trigger until ready to fire anyway. It is not dark brown, sort of a reddish/maroon type of finish. It is powerful but it was difficult for my kid to sometimes fully compress the spring. For the money it has been a lot of fun and has been accurate enough. We have shot probably 500 rounds through it without any problems, using just the Crossman .22 pellets. I think I paid about $50.00 for it. I added a little oil to the moving parts. It will punch through both sides of a tin soup can with one shot. I am happy with it.

If I had bears they would have no problem getting it down! Since I don't I this is only the second one I've owned in 19 yrs.

I'm sorry we gave it as a gift, and no longer have the bear, so I cannot check the tag to see where & from when it was made. Sorry I couldn't be of help.

Yes it will fit. I highly recommend the box! First as a deterrent to other "less honorable" people and second to protect your investment against game and Mother Nature. I've had both black and brown bears come up and lick/chew a little on the box but have not taken any damage to the camera itself. I've used them for the past four years and I only had to replace 1 box from damage! NO CAMERAS!

There is a safety lever in front of the trigger. Not sure if is a bear trap safety or not. It does work, if it is engaged you can not fire the gun. Hope this helps.

Mine was a dark brown, like dark woodwork. Looks nice, works good. It sucks up a few bugs too!

You need to check with Amazon. This bear does come in vanilla and brown. Amazon: 1-888-280-3321

I ordered an Elk and got a Universal. I wanted an Elk. The picture is an Elk. The battery terminals on the Universal are too large for my security system panel. I am returning it immediately. Either list an Elk and ship it or list a Universal - no switcheroos.UPDATE: Cy from the seller contacted me and offered a full refund or a 50% discount with adapters which he will send. He apologized for the photo error.

Back in stock. Good thing too, this is a great model. My friend has an old XBR4 and it looks good to me too. No obsolescence here for a while.

The bear is very soft with cuddly smooth fur. He also has a great expression on his face. He is well worth the money and I would buy him again. He is the cutest bear you can get.

The Hogue overmold stock is heavier than the standard 10/22 birch wood factory stock. The polymer chassis and the synthetic rubber exterior add about a pound or so, but I didn't weigh them. The Houge stock is a definite improvement.

This 301 stockman is the original and is made in the USA. They offer another that is cheaper and believe it is brown in color. That model is made overseas (China?). This stays true to tradition and feels just like the previous 2 I have owned that had untimely and suspicious disappearances.

No it does not have a safety. However, my 10-year-old has not had any problems with being unsafe with the product. As someone already mentioned, learning to keep ones finger off the trigger until ready to pull it is always the safest way to handle a gun. The gun has been a lot of fun and although there were some quality issues with the stock, it has been powerful and fairly accurate for what it is. I would venture to guess that one would be pressed to find another .22 cal. air gun with a wood stock that does what it does in a similar price range. I would say that it has been worth the money.

Dear Chadwick,Thank you so much for your inquiry. Unfortunately we don't carry any B.B that close to MAC 43-45 and 138, even Skin79 Bronze is little bit darker than them.If you have any othe question, please feel free to contact us.Sincerely,Katie The Babe

It is synthetic so it's good for all weather, and the difference between the original wood stock and this one is you won't have that hard steel butt plate slamming your shoulder after repetitive use, recoil is still felt but I'd say reduced by 20% besides all that, it just looks freakin awesome!!!!

HI.....The picture is just a stock picture from Bearington.....The tag on my bears says 2013.

I don't live in 'bear country' (live in the mid-west) so not qualified to answer BUT this unit will give a 2000 pound steer an 'attention getting' jolt so am sure the biggest bear will know he touched something he shouldn't!
