I just got back from a grizzly hunt in AK. I had a Ruger Hawkeye 375. I scoped it with a Vari -XIII 2.5x8. It worked great. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the 3 you have. I know the Vari-XIII will handle the recoil----I would go with the 1.5x5. Bob
FYI----I took a 7' + sow grizzly. She was a toklot---perfect hide for a rug.
Congrats on your bear Bob!
A 7 ft. sow seems like a big one. Interior or coastal?
