I would recommend the short barrel shotgun stoked with the Brenneke slugs
since any bear defense is going to be a fast, short ranged affair.
In July I had to kill a 3 yo brown bear in town that didn't respond to
the usual methods of discouragement. I shot him from about 40 paces
through both shoulders with a Brenneke slug (never did find it).
In my experience, the results were spectacular in that the bear
dropped where he stood and rolled to his side never to get up again.
