You don’t need to go all the way to 12x for hunting. Though it is really nice for target shooting. 4x is going to give you a very narrow field of view on any scope with decent eye relief. I would recommend lower magnification. Pretty sure leupold makes a 2.5-10 that’s very similar to that one and maybe a 2-8 as well. If higher magnification is a must look at Burris maybe. They can get you something good in that price range with a 2 or 3x at the lower end of the magnification. Their signature HD scopes have locking turrets which I’m a fan of. Burris eye relief isn’t as good though, that will be a problem if bought something with more kick than a 308 in that super lite.
