    DONT DO IT...Mate....just dont. either save up your pennies and get something newer and higher grade in say 3-15 3-18 or just stick with what you have got.
    reason I say this..I tried a 4x12 and a 4.5x15 both good scopes and HATED them both with vengence..... Ron has a 4.5x14 on the 7mm mag...have a look through it next time you meet up...great out long,suckymoto in close.....
    Ive taken deer out to 350 with my 3x9x40mm and because I dont twiddle n fiddle with knobs thats as far as I will shoot anyway...it would be Kentucky windage past that so rangefinder and drop chart territory..not my cuppa tea.
    knowing where you normally hunt I would say going DOWN in magnification to something like the pig plex Ron has on rossi would be upgrade.... I have actually gone away from the 3x9x40 on main rifle and put fixed 4 power on it..it wore fixed 3x for a bit too.... but that has other rifle to suit it better.
    my open country/varmit rifles dont have more than 3x9 on them...the 4.5x15 was good but really shit on dusk compared to 3x9
    thats my milage..others will have different ideas.
