The only mannlicher-stocked rifles I've been around much were Ruger #1 and M77 international models. Those look balanced with a 1.5-5x or 1-4x Leupold with the straight tube. I suppose their 2.5x would be good, too. With a longer barrel .. those are 18.5" for the bolt action and 20" for the single shot .. perhaps the choice would change. I also shot with a guy who had a fixed 4x which was a good choice but I think overall I like the straight tubes best.
