if the quality of the scopes is equal and the price difference is narrow, then personally i would go with the 4-12 over the 3-9 myself. but a quality 3-9 is much better than a lesser quality 4-12. clarity will overcome magnification. I have a Fullfield II 3-9, and a Buckmaster 4-12. They are both very effective scopes.
