Rest assured you got it all covered. Steer clear of the grizzlies and no need for anything else other than a new roll of freezer paper.

It will work. Don't know how comfortable I would be with that combo if I happened to suprise a dangerous big game - ie. Grizzly sow with cubs. I guess you could tell her she is not supposed to be there, as you are clearly hunting for non dangerous big game.... Location has alot to do with what you carry vs. what you are hunting.

You're all set, I'd include griz as well, wouldn't be my first choice for Brownies but if I had to.
Now the more important Q, what do you have for hunts lined up and where at?

Outside of the Salmon Fed Brown Bears on Kodiak, thou it would do, you don't hunt those alone unless you live there. Other that that Nothing, you would have problems in the Shotgun only States. It would do for 98% of the worlds big game to boot too. Of course you would have to be able to shoot well enough to hit a basket ball at 50 yards. Let us know how it works our for you in say 2050. That is 40 years from now.

That 6X can cost you a buck in the woods, it happened to me with a 4X. On a misty morning a whitetail can slip in so close that, when you raise your rifle all you see is hair.

I had to sight down the side of the barrel like it was a shotgun for a 25 yard black bear. 4x scope was way too much at that range. Randy

As others have said, not so good in shotgun areas. Also, in the thick swamps I grew up hunting in Mid-Michigan, that 6x would have to go. I say toss a 2.5-8 on it instead and now we are talkin.
