My pump gun with the 1 3/8 oz slugs helps me feel safe in bearville. The AK Dept of F&G uses the same load for dispatching aggressive bears. A friend swears by his Marlin 45-70 which some guides use as a back-up. A big hunk of lead is all that's needed. While the magazine might be full, you'll be lucky to get two shots in a "have-to" situation.I'm thinkin' that a lever gun in .45-70 would be mah up nawth b'ar choice. With some +P+ solids. Cop Killer + + + ammo.
