Personally, I think the 2.5 is perfect. The only drawback to it is poor light gathering ability, but this is a function of objective/ocular rather than power.
Personally, I'm amazed by those who can shoot, under hunt conditions, up to the magnification of a 4X+ scope at over 300 yards....gotta be real steady, estimate distance expertly, do the drop compensation perfectly, etc. Under 300 yards, I think you give up more in acquisition time than you gain in "accuracy".
That said, remember my hunting days started only recently. YMMV.
