The scoped 7mm is a good idea but think about it when a bear is charging you are you going to be able to throw up the rifle and squeeze off a shot? I dont' know about you but i think i would be a little scared.  If you were looking for the maximum stoping power i would go with a sawed off 12 gauge shotgun with 3 1/2 in. buckshot and the second round should be a slug this way when u see the bear u can shoot off the buckshoot long enough to stun him hopefully then take a quick second to fire off the slug which if it hits the bear should very easily kill a bear.  Yes this may be a little more extreme than a can of pepper spray but this is my opinon.
