Hey Fiji, hope it works out for you.
What is a normal range for you?
We hunt farmland so normal for us goes from "in your face" (shotgun time) on out to several hundred yards.
I often carry a shotgun and varmint gun together because of that.
If they are going to be close in look at a variable that is on the low end like 2.5x.

If you'll be shooting distance then you could step up to a 4.5x on the low end.
Leupold has some nice VX-3 scopes also.
