new gun new scope!

was thinking of a nikon slughunter, but compared it to the leupold ultimate slam which I did like more.

Now my decision is whether to get the
2-7x33
or
3-9x40

same price essentially so no big deal.

My first slug scope was a 1x red dot, then I wanted more magnification and went to a 1.5-4.5, then I got a 2-7x,

I'm not really planning to shoot long range, but it's possible, really 200yds or less I plan to, but I hear guys pushing that nowadays with slugs, but in reality most shots should be under 100yds, maybe I'll take a 150 one day, but if I'm grouping well at 200 and have a shot, I would not hesitate to take one.

Also stalking around, if I jumped a deer, would I rather have 2x or 3x?? also if it were set to 9x instead of 7x and jumped a deer I figure I'd rather have 7x, but I guess worrying about accidentals etc...don't make much sense.
