jbradley, if you are looking for a scope to be used in wooded areas or dense foliage, I would suggest a 1.5 x 5 or 2.5 x 8. More then enough magnification for long shots in openings or on powerlines, but still a very flexible for dense cover. The 4.5 power is just a bit strong for very dense foliage. One other thing to consider is the 50mm objective. It will definitely let in more light, but sometimes that additional light can cause flare on the lense. I would recommend a 2.5 x 8 x 32 as an excellent, all purpose scope.
Good hunting....
