Lot of good advice, lots of options.
For longer shots, as mentioned, a little more power may be what you want.
My M-70 SS .375 H&H wears a Zeiss Victory 1.5-6x42 in Warne QD's, the gun has NECG irons. It's a larger scope but the glass is great and the 42mm objective is good in any light.
I had a VX-6, 1-6x24, #4 Illuminated. The #4 reticle was too heavy for longer shot, IMO. I sold it. If I got another, it would be a Firedot duplex, the std. duplex is heavy enough. The VX-6 is a great scope, great eyebox and glass quality close to the Victory. It's 30mm and larger, like the Victory.
For smaller scopes, I have several, any of which would work.
One is an older 1.5-5x20, another is a vintage M-8 3X that I sent back for cleaning and #4 reticle. Older scopes but good scopes, both pretty well known to be bullet proof. Glass not Victory or VX-6 quality but plenty good.
Another two are a VX-3, 1.75-6x32 and a VX-3, 2.5-8x36.
IMO, there is no right or wrong choice, just the one that suits you and does what needs going. With QD's, you can take a couple, never a bad idea.
