So I kind of want an all rounder scope I can hunt with in the roar but still shoot targets out to 800 yds possibly

and this is your problem, you want an all rounder, deer in the bush and then targets out to 800. theres a saying, "jack of all trades, master of none"
what im saying is your going to have to compromise on something, either too much magnification in the bush or wanting more at 800 yards.
the best you could hope for is probably 6-24, which maybe too much in the bush but better at targets.
if I was you I would have too scopes,(and two rifles) your 3-9 on a .243 in bush, and maybe the 6-24 or more on your 300.
