You will just have to try to put it there, but I doubt it will work or someone would already have one there.

Will the 45-70 kill a bear one shot?

I say NO.
Don't forget about the bullet drop compensation.
If you aim it on the center... the bullet will hit the ground.

So at the 350m spot where should I aim to kill him? A tad above his spine?

Try to find a good spot around the river, range it with your RF (in this case you need to shoot at 350m) .
Go to "options" and set auto reload to OFF, and then aim and shoot.
You'll know where the bullet drop.

hoo is right about the lockoff but.... not the distances. there are better places/distances.

took alot of time to find and ill show on a video soon but its very hard to do and tricky/rare.
i would like to congratulate tony as he pulled off the bow shot. well done ! ;)

i for one know how hard it is to get that shot. well done.

Nosnerb, I think you'd be better off with a .300 Rifle. The .45-70 has a huge velocity and damage drop-off.
Spends all the gold and money to buy new weapons in the shape of guns.
