[QUOTE="mackgee, post: 3046094, member: 41086"] As a guy that hunts and lives in Alaska, and kills a ton of bears yearly…I would say that you need something with the best glass you can find, that transmits a maximum percentage of light. I’ve used the Nightforce, and though they are rugged, the eyebox on every one has been a nightmare, especially when trying to get a shot off in an awkward position. I can recall probably 3 different black bears that I found at last light that I couldn’t get a shot on them because I couldn’t make out the bear in a shadow using the Nightforce for that one year. Ever since then I have been using Schmidt and Bender scopes exclusively and haven’t had that same problem since. I have a couple of Klassik 2.5-10x56mm that I really like in low light, and a few Polar’s as well, but that is probably out of your price range. The Klassik is well under your range and in my opinion is a steal at the price you get them at. Another option is the Swaro Z6 2.5-15x56mm…another good piece of glass that allows you make a shot at last light. Both the Klassik and Z6 are within the price range you stated. Good luck!
