A 2x-7x will be better if your woods are thick and you only occasionally get an open field shot at that longer distance. If its open woods and alot of open fields I'd go with the 3x-9x. Those few ounces aren't going to mean anything, I'd base it on if your gonna average more close shots or more long range shots. For example, I'm in an area where I can hunt both the thick black timber or alot of open meadows. I prefer the open stuff so I go with the higher variable scope. If I wanted to spend most of my time in the thick timber I'd go with the smaller variable.
