Why do you want such a light caliber? A rifle chambered in .270 Winchester or .30-06 is would be a FAR better choice for hunting deer size prey as well as for self-defense (the only thing a 7x39 would do to a bear would be to make it EXTREMELY angry). (p.s.the rifle caliber of choice for brown bear in coastal Alaska is the .375 Winchester)
