I've been doing exactly what you are asking with a Weaver k2.5 on a Rem 600 for at least 30 years, and it still works fine. Capable to 350 yards on game & coyotes.
That said, I have not shopped to replace it so don't know what is available really. My last lpvo was for an AR, so I got one tailored for that.
The less complicated the better. I'd probably get a Leopold fire dot if I needed a replacement.
