Lot to be said for that. Think I'd hold onto my rifle as long as I could though! I read what a lot of guy's say about the handgun and keep getting the feeling they'd throw their rifle on the ground and take the bear on with the handgun! To me that is about the worst thing you could do! I think if I used the bear spray if would be up close and personal. Even at 20' the rifle bullet must carry better and much inside 20', the rifle probably won't handle as well. Problem for me would probably be getting the spray out in a timely fashion!I’ve watched guys fumble drawing or empty a magazine trying to hit a 8” plate at 15 yards shooting powderpuff loads out of a handgun that’s been slicked up for competition after the timer goes off. The idea that your going to draw and hit a moving target under maximum stress with a magnum revolver or 10 mm Auto is fantasy for most. Unless your an avid pistolero, I’d lean towards the bear spray.
