My primary rifle has a 3.5x18x44 Swaro. It only weighs 16 ounces, so lighter than many low powered scopes and it isn't much different in size than most 3x9 scopes. You can always turn it down but it is nice to have the higher power for long range targets and for looking at game. Even at 500 yards you can evaluate the rack far better on 18 than on 9. Comes down to what you like but as I get older I find more magnification better than less.
