I have mentioned before but perhaps you missed it when I said my first CF rifle had a 6X scope on it. I just was in the basement where six extra scopes lay on a chair. One of them is that 6X Lyman Wolverine. There is also a 6X Lyman All American there unused.
Most of my deer hunting has been in the forests of Vermont. I would shoot at a running buck. Many times its the only shot you might get year after year. I ran running deer shoots and participated in them also. I am confident of my shooting.
Shoot when the buck is nears the top of his bound and never when his feet hit the ground.
A 4X scope is better than a 6X for that.
That goes back to 1953.
To add that your there in that sissy Montana weather! Here is our weather in CT. We need all around rifles for this and not fixed power!
