I like a 2-7x or 3-9x if it's necessary to shoot an antlered deer. In poor light, I've turned the magnification up to spot antlers, then turned it down for the shot.
When using a fixed 2.5x scope it was often not possible to be sure of antlers and taking binoculars out to see, causes motion and takes too much time.
(I never look at people through my rifle scope...even if the rifle isn't loaded.)
