Cap the windage turret on the 3-9X42, add a zero stop to the elevation turret. . .
This would do it for me.
Many of these other ideas are, quite frankly, terrible. If a person doesn't want turrets, and just wants a duplex, there's about 1000 other scopes out there already to fulfill that need.
Also, the fixed power idea keeps recurring because that's what most people here have used with SWFAs, or they're just parroting what the Half-Man from Craig said.
The 3-9s are somewhat more svelte, and are a lot nicer fit on hunting rifles.
There are a 1000 other scopes out there but they DONT fullfill the need because they aren,t built as tough as the SWFA. Nor do they track as well,or hold up to recoil as well as an SWFA,and the ones that do are way more expensive.
The fixed power Idea comes from knowing there are less parts in a fixed power than a Variable and less to go wrong. That plus a fixed 6x can do for close range shots and long range as well.
