A 3x9 would work great. Even when hunting in brush having to ability to crank up the magnification for a longer shot through "windows" is a nice thing to have. Having the scope mounted so it lines up quick is more important than magnification IMHO. My son has a Leupold 6x42 on his .280 and hunts brush with it. A scope with good eye relief and a reticule that's not too thin are a plus.
