Need a little help with a Bear

[Gray Buffalo]

I picked this up about 3 years on a trade. Would like some info on it if possible. Its marked as 62” but it really a 56” thanks in advance.

Judging from the length and serial number it's a 69.

It's Bear's version of the Parker Trojan shotgun, not top of the line but a utilitarian model.  Of course this would be the utilitarian version of Bear's hunting bow in 1969.  I killed my first deer in 1969 with a 1967 version.  They shoot just fine and yours looks to be in excellent condition and has nicely grained wood.

How cool is that?! A miss marked '69 Grizzly.
