Hi Dave! The best thing about that scope will be the heavy crosshairs. A 1 x 4 heavy crosshair scope will be fine for shootin' 'em pretty far out there. I say go for it.
I you are aiming at a little target dot on a bench the difference between 3 and 9 power seems extreme. Can't shoot a good group at 3x. But..............
Here is something odd about a low power scope. At 9 power I can shoot a coyote silouette at a hundred yards off sticks and get a nice cluster in the kill yone. I can crank that baby down to 3 power and shoot about a half inch bigger on a coyote silouette. Does not make any sense, but try it yourself, and you will be amazed.
Try that test guys, you will be surprised.
