If you're hunting West side of Washington no need for 12 power.
I'd go with the monarch 2.5-10.
That's what I have with bdc. At 400 yards the circle is about the size of a 8" shoot n c target. It is not for long range target shooting as you have to guess where center of bulls eye is at that range or further. I still shoot it sub moa from bench.
But it is great for quick general shot placement.
