Thanks so much Big Squeeze, I appreciate your thoughtful comments. I was wondering if this is the scope of which you speak:
Thanks!!

Alternatively, if you are comfortable with the 2-7x magnificaiton range, you could simply get a different 2-7x scope that willl offer more mountin goptions and better eye relief. There are a few good options out there that are quite a bit cheaper than the VX-3 1.5-5x20 and offer much better low ligh tperformance to boot. I would take a good hard look at Vortex Viper 2-7x32 or Nikon Monarch 2-8x32. Either one can be had for around $300 or just under.

However imo, with wider FOVs and with both eyes open capability for better acquiring speed at moving game, the lower powered variables are better for your type of shorter ranged hunting out to 200 yards.
If you are going to be doing open plains hunting at longer ranges the majority of the time, then a 2x8, 2.5x8, or a 3x9 would make good choices. But then on the other hand, even for my longest of open plains kill shots (deer sized animals and larger), I`ve never needed more than 5x or 6x anyway. And as I stated before on the other thread, many if not most experienced hunters when hunting, will not exceed 5x or 6x even for their longest of shots.
