I’d get something In 2-10, 3-12 or 3-15. Like the tract.
While 3-9 is fine for hunting, when you’re at the range it’s nice to have little more zoom. And you got almost 2 years to play with.
When I shoot my 270 on 8” gong at 600 yards with 3-9 with CDS. The 9x just is not enough. I’d want to be covered from short to long range, I say something little stronger than 3-9.
Aim small, miss small


All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
