SBR for bear defense

[ckaz34]

Anyone carry a 7” 300 blk in grizzly country? A Daniel Defense or Q Honey Badger.

Nope, but I have carried my 11.5” and 12.5” SBRs in 556 for bear defense during most of my outings.

How do you carry it?

OP, have you ever thought of a 4" S&W 44 mag, lot easier to carry in a holster.

And a heck of a lot harder to shot, especially with a griz running at you. If you are willing to carry it, 300 BLK will work for the role with a decent bullet choice.

I actually just got back from a scouting trip in griz country and had my SBR 22 arc (gasser) build with me as don’t own a pistol. It's 6 lbs with surpressor and optic and doesn’t bother me much with my pack/sling setup.. and, if I see a wolf, I’m ready

I’m terrible with a pistol, but decent with my AR. Just looking into all options.

OP, if carrying an AR makes you feel better, carry it.

Yall need to shoot pistols more. That said, 30 rounds of 5.56 will stop whatever. If you do .300blk I'd only be confident in supers.
