I want to scope a 9.3x62 bolt gun that I recently traded for. I intend to use this rifle for brown bear in Alaska next season, and hopefully, on a trip to Africa.

I was looking for a 1x-4x scope with a 1 inch tube and a German post reticle when I ran across the Leupold 1-4x20 VX-1 Hog Scope. Its reticle looks like this:

This reticle seems to draw the eye to its center, which is why I was interested in the German post. What are your thoughts on the suitability of this scope for dangerous game?
