Thoughts On Handgun Scopes

I want to replace a Burris 1.5-4x Posi-lock scope on a S&W .500 magnum with 8 3/8" barrel. I want to use it for the Pennsylvania black bear season in November. I'm tall with long arms, and the Burris doesn't have enough eye-relief for me even at 1.5x. It keeps blacking out if you're not lined up perfectly behind it, so it's hard to get on target fast, or to keep on moving targets.
I have a Bushnell Elite 3200 2-6x scope on a Dan Wesson .44 I use for whitetail hunting. The Bushnell isn't as sharp optically as the Burris, but the eye-relief is much more foregiving so it works OK for me. I would like to have a low powered variable, with generous eye-relief. Where I was last year went from rain, to sleet, to VERY COLD all on the first morning, and stayed VERY COLD, so I don't want something that relies on batteries.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS LIKE, AND WHY?
