Very few situations cannot be handled by a low X scope like the one you have. You are well equipped so long as you have loaded good quality bullets and are practiced up when you go. Even at close range a low X scope beats an open sight. Only at bayonet ranges on a fast incoming do the open sights have any merit over a scope. If you do your part as it should be done this scenario will not play out for you. Have a great trip!

PS you might consider carrying BOTH scopes, wrapped up in soft stuff, in your carry - on. I have done this for many trips and it has worked well for me. Great idea on the spare identical scope zeroed and ready to go.

LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.
