Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Best scope short range for Bear Hunting

I wish Bushnell had not discontinued the Elite 6500 Series 1.25-8x32mm scope.

Seven years ago, I picked that one above all others I considered for short/long-range bear hunts: https://imgur.com/tWMO09m

I think it's ideal given that it can go all the way down to almost 1:1 ratio and all the way up to 8-power. It has 5" of eye relief, so my .375 Wby does make it smack me in the eye.
