Well Colorado Luckydog pretty much answered it like I would have, but I will elaborate a little more. I grew up using 3-9 scopes, never really had a problem with them but as far as I can remember I have never used one on the 3x setting, I have however had a 3-9x scope and wish I had a little more power. The only gun I have ever used 3x on has been my XP100R handgun. When I started using 4-12 and 4.5-14x scopes and saw the difference I decided that I would never own another 3-9x scope. I have a fixed 6x Leupold on a 243, do you think it is too strong because it doesnt adjust down to 3x?
