On a hunting rifle you need no more than a 3 x 9X. I have more 3 x 9 Leupolds than any other power. I do like the 3 1/2 x 10X Vari X 111 better, but the 3 x 9 Vari v 11 is all you will need. I would recomand you not go above 3X on the low end, especially if you are going to be hunting hogs. They can get nasty and turn on you and you don`t want to try to find a chargeing hog in a high powered scope. My last deer was at 289 yards. ( lazered) with a muzzle loader and a 2 1/2 X scope.
