I'm looking really hard at the new Leupold VX-3i 1.75-6x32.

It's plenty of scope for the intended use of this rifle. It doesn't break the bank.

Am I overlooking any other scopes in this class?

It needs to work at last light, needs to stand up to recoil, needs decent eye relief, needs to be able to reach out to 300 yards sometimes, needs to be fast in close in the thick stuff.
