    Variable powered scopes had become very popular by the late 1970's. Here are some that were shown in the 1978 Gun Digest. I will not list all, just the ones I consider best from my experience in hunting at similar ranges to what you mentioned. Burris Fullfield 2X-7X and 3X-9X, Leupold Vari-X II 3X-9X and 2X-7X, Redfield Widefield LP 2X-7X and 3X-9X, Weaver V7 2 1/2X-7X and V9 3X-9X, Several models of the Lyman All American series in fixed powers.
