A bear is large, I'd want a #1 or perhaps #4 reticle, but could do w/a HD - and a 3x or 4x would be enough, a 2-7 or 2.5-8 VX3 would give one a light capable scope.
As to Swaro, good glass....but many things to consider for a 'job specific' rifle for the OP. It would work if dependable, but the reticle's I have seen are not what I'd want if I had to shoot fast and/or in bad light where the reticle might get less contrast on a bear.
Just my preference, any reliable scope that the user can see the crosshairs on 'Bear Hair' should do, but 3-4x would be where I'd want to be on the high side.
