Welcome to the site MD ! A 1x6 scope will do everything and more than a 3x9 scope can do . I actually prefer a 1x6 . Picture this because this has happened to me more times than I want to admit. You have that 3x9 scope set on 3 the lowest power . A deer jumps up a 30 yards to semi thick woods and starts trotting away . You aim with the scope . Every twig looks like a 3 inch branch. You can barely see that deer through the small field of view at 3X . Now picture your 1X6 scope set at 1.5 . You are going to see every bit of that deer and be able to pick the holes through the trees to shoot through with that large field of view .

I had 3x9 scopes on all my rifles for years ! Once I put on a Leupold 1x6 Firedot Duplex on my Browning Bar Carbine and how much better it is than the 3x9's , I'm switching all the 3x9 scopes out to 1x6 Leupolds.
Dont be fooled . A high quality 1x6 will shoot out to 250 yards . The size of the field of view is a game changer for me . A pic of my rifle and a pic of my scope stash LOL
