I really depends on what your going to do with the rifle.

Hunting rabbits down in the bottoms a 1-4 0r 1.5-6/2-7 would work well with the large FOV providing quick acquisition.

Shooting squirrels out of the tree top, a 2-10, 3-9 giving you more X's to precisely hit half hidden critters.

Shooting ground squirrels out in the pasture a 4-16 or 6-24 wouldn't be out of the question.

My bolt action 22 Mag wears a 1.5-6x40 with Illuminated dot during predator/rabbit(jacks) hunting season hunting season and a 6.5x20 or 8-32 when I put the 22LR barrel on it for the summer.
