There's no "Best" scope for brown/grizzly hunting anymore than any other. There are, however, better suited scopes than others for said purpose. I like plenty of eye relief and a low power on the bottom. On top of that, a scope that is reliable since you will probably be in wet, remote conditions. Find a good 1-4X or 1-6X, Good ones can be had from $450 on up to $2000. The advantage to the higher end is usually only enjoyed at the range when working up a load or selecting suitable factory ammo. I went through 3 scopes on my 458 Lott before I found one a Really liked. I ended up with a Hawke 1-4 with the L4A reticle. It is a thick post reticle with a single illuminated dot in the center. Has been the most likeable scope I have ever used on a heavy recoiling rifle. I took the same scope to Nebraska last year coyote hunting on a AR-15, between me and a buddy we killed 28 in 2 1/2 days. Never was lacking in the scope department!
