A couple of honorable mentions for me is the Leupold FX-II 6X36 with fine duplex and parallax set at 40yds.

That or the 4x, for satisfying the criteria you stated for a light rifle used for casual shooting and woods loafing (and I've put my money where my mouth was on that one). For serious work, which for me means competition with heavy vintage single shots, please make it a 20x Unertl.
Everybody's needs are different, as are everybody's approach to filling them depending largely on whose propaganda they bought into and where they plink & hunt. This could be an enlightening thread, or at least an amusing one!
