If It were me I would likely go 4x33 Leupold.

If you don't mind looking in the used market, there are a few that also might work.

the 4x burris short mag, is a 4x20 (or 25) same size as the 2.5X leupold, buy extra X's

The discontinued Sightron 4x32, Its even smaller and more compact than the Leupold and in my eyes indistinguishable optically. Its one flaw was it was so short it was hard to mount. I have one on a marlin 94.
