Leupold ultralights are a fine scope in 3-9 power.....but seriously.....you'll wind up setting it on 6x or 7X and leaving it there all the time....
I hunted with a Weaver K-6 for many years as the only scope I had in the early sixties.....I still have it and still use it and can honestly say that I don't miss any advantages of the variables.
Some of the reticule options might be a lot more of interest than the variable power option.....but it seems the reticule options are mostly found on variable power scopes.....
Today I have several Leupold 3-9 X 32 scopes and love them all......and yes....usually they are set to 6X and stay there all the time.
