Need some advice on buying a Scope.
I am looking to buy a scope for my .270. I live and hunt mostly in South Florida. I want something that I can use both for Deer & Hogs. I don't plan on shooting out past 150 yards but when out hog hunting I might need to take closer shots in thick brush. What magnification would be best for this? Would I be able to have the best of both worlds? I don't want to spend more than $400.

Which one will have a better balance to accomplish both requirements?

I've killed hogs at 6 yards with a straight 6x, and deer to 300 yards with the same scope, just pic whichever you like best, you could probably buy the 3x9 cheaper than the 2x7 due to volume sales, either will serve you well.

I love the Nikon scopes. Can get a prostaff or higher quality monarch in your price range. 2.5x or 3-9x 50 for best light gathering capabilities. The Nikon scopes have amazing clarity and light gathering for those late evening shots. I highly recommend them.
