It was easy to infer that the OP was not hunting the thick brush, as he wondered whether a 6x scope or higher powered variable was wanted. If he had mentioned a 6x or 1.5-4, it would have warranted a question as to the terrain hunted. But knowing that a 6x has worked fine for me in open terrain (and even in multiple coyote hunting tournaments), their was no need to complicate the matter with further questioning.
