I have a 2-7X32 on mine. I prefer to keep my gun as light and compact as I can. Makes for a fast handling easy to carry package. While hunting I never turn it up above 3 power anyways.
I don't like to classify myself as this or that, I like to do it all. Hunt doe for meat and then hunt buck for antlers. When I get a buck he gets turned into summer sausage. Doe are my steak, burger, and roast.
Since you know where he beds, I would stay at the same level. He is bedding there for a reason. Get as close as you can without bumping him. All this rain should help.
The other option is to try and shoot him out of his bed, in which you want to listen to nyantler's post. It would be one heck of a hunt!
Wait for perfect conditions and get as close to his bed as possible. Rain will quiet the leaves. I would do it ASAP, his routine will be all out of whack soon. And when you get closer, sit between his bed and where you believe he's headed with the wind in your favor.
