Long time lurker, first time poster. Thanks for all of the info -- on this and other threads. I'm currently eyeing up a 3-9 for a potential elk hunt next year. I know that the 6x's are well loved, though. Maybe I'll consider that one, too, based on the Black Friday deals (if they come back in stock). I was really hoping that the 3-9's would be included, but it looks like they've been left out.
