While hunting I always kept the power ring on 3x or 4x so I would have a reasonable field of view with some magnification. But the 9x is handy for sighting in new handloads loads at the range.

I've never tried one but I think a 2-7x28 might be pretty handy and plenty of scope for hunting and range while being more lightweight and compact than the 3-9x40mm. I might try that or a 4x20mm on my next rifle. Less weight is always good in the woods.
