You didn't ask me, but IMHO a fixed 4-power scope is a great
little scope for a deer rifle. That's exactly what I use on
my primary whitetail rig. It's also what I have on my
daughter's rifle. They're light, bright, and plenty of
magnification out as far as I need to be shooting with
my 7mm08. They are also less-complicated than variable-
power scopes, and, intuitively, at least, more durable.
They may be a little less expensive, as well.
However, if you do almost all of your hunting from a stand,
the weight of your rifle and scope are not nearly as critical
as if you are walking/stalking or taking off-hand shots.
And, in terms of resale, there is probably a bigger market
for a standard 3-9 variable-power scope.
