I personally would want a lower magnification range scope for hunting, with a large field of view, especially if we are talking about moving game and tracking their movement as they wander into your kill zone. A lot of the guys I know who shoot out to 1200yds with way higher power calibers on stationary targets still prefer a 4-16x56, or 3-12x56 Schmidt & Bender. Your FOV on 24x will be basically useless on moving targets that need to be tracked, unless they are waaaaay the heck out there, beyond the terminal ballistic potential of any cartridge with a 30gr case capacity.
Maybe the 3x/Eotech or the 5-15x50 would be a better fit for an 18" hunter. I guess the Eotech is easy enough to test out and see with the 3x if you have the drop compensator dots in the Eotech. If not, use the 5-15x50.
