Could see picking the VX-III 2.5-8X or 3.5-10X40 (no A.O. nor 50mm lens) as alternative choices, if the 3-9X40 wasn't available.

It works for close or far. Big game or varmints. Its weight is barely over a pound so it is defiantely not a heavy weight. "Only Christ is the fullness of God's revelation." Everyday Hunter
