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
