6x is a fine fixed power choice **for wide open country**. If your shots are going to be less than 100 yards in deep cover, why in the world do you need 6x? You would be far better off with the faster acquisition offered by a 2 or 2.5x than being hindered with more magnification than you need. If you occasionally need a bit more magnification, get a 1.5x-5 variable.
