Something middle of the road, nothing over 3.5-10 and mount the objective facing forward.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

Thinking a Sightron 3.5-10x44 lRIR MOA-3 or a Athlon Ares BTR 3-15x50
Never take life to seriously, after all ,no one gets out of it alive.

I've got:
T3 SL 223 with a 4.5-14x 30mm LR
T3 SL 30-06 with 2-12x VX6 Illuminated
T3 CTR 6.5 creed 3-18x VX6
The VX 6 offers a lot for the weight and size. I love them. Considering switching the 4.5-14 for a vx6 2-12x. I recommend getting a VX6 if you can swing the cost.

If you're looking at a Vortex Razor HD I'd recommend you call SAS at Whittakers. I don't think you'll find a better price....

What Cypriss32 said.
I have three of the Leupold VX-6 2-12X42 on game rifles from 243 Ackley through 338 Win Mag.
I have tried several other 'scopes but keep coming back to the Leupold VX-6 2-12X42.
Some were more expensive - much more expensive. They offered nothing over the VX-6 optically.
I have had no mechanical issues with mine.
A hunting partner has two - and I watched him use one to make a 420 yard perfect hit with a 300 Win Mag on an Antelope buck.
On sale now at a lot of places the 2-12X42 is an incredible value.
And yes, the VX-6 3-18X50 on my 6.5 CM is just a durn near perfect match for my uses.

I got a great deal on a Swarovski Z3 3-10x42 with the 4a reticle.
Thanks for all of the great input, lots of good choices.
