Doug,
I am pleased that you are considering a long-arm for bear protection.
Personally I do not think "Bear protection" and "hand gun" should be used in the same sentence.
If faced with drawing down on a bear it is very impotant that the animal is disspatched as quickly as possible. A wounded bear instantly becomes everyones problem, and on a popular river there could be dozens of people at risk.
Another option is the guide model Marlin 45-70 with 510 grain solids. Very easy to point and quick to unload. This would be my choice as you can also hunt with it.
