When hunting from a stand, field of view is not as critical as it is when walking hunting, sneaky-snaking. 4X hasn't been a problem for me when sitting, even on the short-range occasions. Walking? Different story. 2X or 3X is much better, quite commonly, when Bambi jumps up at close range.
So if you're going to be mostly sitting, don't change a thing. Just leave the scope on 4X.
A fella's generally better off if he stays with what's familiar...
