Now I'm trying to decide between the 3x9 or the 4x14. The rifle would be either a 30-06 or a 300 Win Mag with a mix of PNW coastal forest and clearcuts...
I have both and I would just stick with the 3-9. The extra magnification of the 4.5-14 is nice but I only crank it up to 12x. For some reason my eyes don't like it on 14x. The adjustable objective is especially useful on my 10/22 though. The one thing I really noticed is the weight difference. The 3-9 is 13 oz. and the 4.5-14 is 18 oz. but that 5 oz. difference is really noticeable to me.
