All of my scopes are higher magnification because of the terrain that I hunt. You should be able to find a Leupold vx3 in the magnification that you are looking for. If needed, you can crank it up for a longer shot and turn it down for a short one. I like the 6.5x20x50 AO and have a couple spares if needed. I use a fixed 6x on the 22, and the rest have a hubble telescope on them. Reason for this is that most of my shots are 300+ yards. If you are shooting 300 and under, a good 3x9 will do all that you require. I also use Unertl scopes, but that is for varmits and bench rest. Check out various makes and models and grab whatever floats your boat. Don't scrimp on the glass, or you may regret it.
