    I like magnification, if that makes me a bad person, I don't care! The scope on my go to rifle has 3.5-14x magnification, BUT I have a dedicated bush gun with a 1.5-5x scope on it which is great. As ZQLewis says, keep it on the lowest magnification. If a longer shot presents itself, then you'll have more time to make an adjustment than the other way around. It might also be useful to clarify what people mean by bush hunting. In Northland, a long shot would be 40 metres, usually much less.
    Moa Hunter, Micky Duck and ZQLewis like this.
