It seems that the Nikko Stirling scope will be fine for now.... and I will feel more confident about making a scope decision in the future.

Indeed. Though in all honesty 4x is probably as high as you would want to go for an 80 metre rifle. A 1-4 or similar would allow you to "both eyes open" and keep both in focus when looking through bush giving you a better field of vision and seeing where the animal goes..

My Brother uses a Vortex Spitfire 3x https://www.shooterssupplies.co.nz/p...-1544dfbf31f4/ And he is very impressed with it. (And he does not impress easily)

Also, if you dont mind batteries there are red dots as well.
