Relatively recently i went to a 4.5-14x to make it a better allround rifle by extending its range. Fail. 4.5 is just that bit too much in tho bush for quick target acquisition IMHO.

Now run a 2-12x.

But a good quality 3-9 should serve you well.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking with going beyond 3x low-end. Even 3x I find much slower than 2x for aquiring a target quickly up close. What 2-12x are you using? I do love 2x, but dunno if it's worth the 2-3 grand that the 2-12x Leupolds seem to go for.
