In wooded areas with shots within 250 yd's I would stay away from high power scopes.A 2-7 is more than enough.I have a Leupold VX II 1-4 on one of my deer guns.Slipping through the woods I keep it down on 1.I'm certain that's gotten me three deer I wouldn't have had a chance with otherwise.IMO it would be a great choice here as well.
