Something along 2-10 , 2.5-10, 3.5-10 is all you need for 300 yards and less.
You don’t need 12 or 15 power at 300 yards. Don’t get me wrong, I love having good zoom at the range.
But as a hunting rig I’d beMore concerned about wide field of view in the thick stuff. Rather ram the max zoom
Plus you’re getting a light weight rifle, no sense in getting a small Hubble to weigh it down.

At 600 yards my vx2 3-9 on the old 270, the cross hair pretty much covers up 8” gong and I still hit it consistently.

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