For brushy or close range hunting, you don't neccesarily need a scope, but for the seirra nevadas, which I suppose are pretty open with longer shots I would recommend a scope. We are not snipers, we seat our deer rifles with regular 4X32 by either bushnell or tasco are usually fairly reliable an moderatly priced ($30-50.) For our moose and bear guns, we put a little more value on our life, so I put a $100. 3X9X40 on my 375. You may want to go with a larger scope, I don't know how much you already have in your rifle, or how much you use it. Good luck on your hunt.
