I'm currently sleeping in a trailer on five semi-remote acres near the Susitna river, taking care of a kennel full of dogs. Bear activity in the area is light, since they are heading for the hills. Still, the threat is there esp. around springtime. No matter how much you clean up, there's always going to be enough scent of dog food around for a bear to pick up miles away.
I've got my eye out for a well used CZ ZKK in .375 H&H, but until the money train comes back in, I've got these basic choices to deal with three AM visitations
Mossberg 500 12 Ga. w/ slug barrel. I know little about slug ballistics. Which would be best against bear?
K-31 with 2x scout scope, firing a cartridge right in the .308 range.
Mosin-Nagant 91-30 with 1 1/2x scout scope, firing a cartridge also in the .308/ .30'06 range.
Open to suggestions.
