Chuck,

The Leupold 1.5x5 is a good scope with good eye relief.

I'd never go back for brownies in the fall without some sort of illuminated or fiber optic dot. You can use a bigger objective to "gather" light but you still have to see the reticle - damn near impossible at dark-thirty or even later against a dark bruin.

For me, about model perfecto is the Trijicon 1x4;

And good luck on the hunt. You're likely obsessing over every piece of equipment, scenario etc., and will continue to do so until you depart. laugh
