The Leupold 2-7 would be a great choice for hunting in the Appalachians. No offence to Brad or any other fixed 6X proponents, but Rhododendron and laurel hells of the Southern Appalachians are unlike any close cover I have seen out West. The 2X setting really has its place where you are hunting. The Leupy VX-2 is a great little scope.

Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.
