optics for alpine bear

[A5ianDunEatRice]

Hey does anyone have any recommendations for how big of a spotting scope to get for alpine bear in the NW? I'm runnign through a couple options and I'm trying to minimize overall weight while not sacrificing the quality optic which would also be used for other big game in the future.

I'm also in the market for a spotter with a similar use case and I will probably get a zeiss apia or maven S.3A

Dont need anything fancy or heavy for bears. You're looking for cubs in the periphery and body size versus counting tines/points.

What's your budget?
