[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 3081815, member: 313"] I use a 1.5x5 Leupold with an illuminated reticle. I highly recommend using an illuminated reticle when you are trying to put the reticle on a black bear, under the dense canopy of the forest, especially in low light. Most of the bears that I've taken were taken in those conditions. Having 5x on the top end is helpful when you are developing loads. Having 1.5x on the bottom is needed for close quarter shooting. Most of my bears were taken over bait at under 50 yds. Bait pails are often set at about 20yds to accommodate bowhunters. [ATTACH type="full"]562691[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
