Is the silver bear better than the wolf?

I would wait for the price to come down.. SG is still overpriced quite a bit. Or you could get the surplus (best deal right now)

I would think wolf is better from what I have shot, but the difference seemed marginal to me

I'd go with the surplus at $159 per 1080 it's a no brainer. I've shoot at least 1500 plus rounds of the surplus out of my Arsenal 105 and have never had a prob, accuracy ain't so bad, AND it is corrosive but I clean after each shooting and have not had a problem with corrosion.

Silver Bear is/was Barnaul with a Zinc (not lacquer) case coating in a non-Barnaul box (due to US name usage ownership) and Barnaul is trump to anything commonly Wolf.

No comparison.
