If you are going to dial and want it to last a lifetime,

Leupold 6x with M1.
SWFA SS 6x
SWFA 3-9x42
Nightfore 2.5-10x32


If weight is a huge priority then the Leupold is where I would turn. If you can stand a few more ounces and want true bomb proofness then I would look at the SWFA SS 3-9x42. I have not seen enough of a difference between it and the NF to spend double the money for a hunting rifle.
