I have a 2-10 Veracity that I like quite a bit. It's possible that the one you are looking at is an older SFP model. Mine is SFP. Either way, It will likely be a good scope for your intended use. I also have a larger Veracity SFP. I bought them both on closeout at Natchez. I'd be very inclined to hit Doug up about something in the Meopta line with a lighted reticle though. You'll be able to get that for about the same price as the Veracity. Any time southern woods hunting is on the menu, a lighted reticle makes a lot of sense. If you need it, it's there. Burris has a special knack for making FFP scopes with reticles that are useless in the lower part of their adjustment range. If the one you are looking at is FFP, consider that. If you kick up a deer that's moving, it'll be harder to bring it into the FOV at 5X than at 2X.
