I'd go with the Nikon Monarch 4-16X42. When you have a scope on 3 power and another scope on 4 power, the magnification is almost identical. But when you start cranking it up to the higher settings, you can really notice a difference. I think the 4-16 would be a great all around scope for whatever you may encounter. Close shots, far shots, and everything in between. I like the Nikoplex Reticle also.
