Is the scope in the subject line too much power for a 30-06? I received this scope for Christmas from my parents. My only hunting rifle at this point is a Remington 700 in 30-06, and I hunt in central, east, and south Texas. Mainly deer, hogs, predators. None of my shots are typically over 150 yards. I'm not planning on getting another gun anytime soon, and if I did it would probably be a 243 that my wife could use.

My other dilema is that this scope was purchasedthrough a family friend who works at Cabela's 200 miles away from where I live. An amazing discount was given on the scope. It was about a $150 discount.I dont think Ican exchange itfor another and getan employeediscounted price on the other scope. If not,I would get less of a scope for the same price. Do you see what I mean?

Need advice.
