brush gun

I'm planning on moving to Alaska sometime this summer, hopefully long-term. I've been looking at rifles & such and have settled on a 35 Whelen built on a mauser action. I'm not asking for input on cartridge choice or whatever. I know you can only stop a grizzly with a 50 BMG or, if that...

i wanted to ask for input as to what would be a good scope for a lever action 44 mag. The rifle currently has an old cheap scope on it and I wanted to put a newer and better quality scope on it. I don't want to spend a ton so a good quality moderately priced. Any input would be appreciated...
