Yes, Russ. I agree. I could never deer hunt with my fixed power SWFA SS's. I much prefer low powered variables for that very reason. If I had to hunt with a fixed pwer scope, I would choose something like 4x, but since I bought/tried PA 4-16x or whatever it is I don't have to worry about giving up variable benefits for reasonable, practical quality and affordability.
After owning and trying both, I have decided I definitely prefer the PA over the SWFA, and I am a big fan of the SWFA SS
But, I mostly hunt in heavy cover, thick , dark cedar swamps which rarely present anything beyond 50 yard shots, and most often are much closer than that even at running deer.
