I suppose an ordinary rifle would be okay, but if you have a very dangerous animal attacking you, you would want the best possible reliability, accuracy, and power in your metal.

Reliability, accuracy and power. A revolver chambered in .44 mag sounds about right. Can't beat a slug .429" in diameter, travelling at 1,500 fps, and delivering 1,300 ft/lbs of energy, All in a reliable handgun package.
Check out Smith's line of .44's. They're a business with a good rep for a reason.
