If I were dead set on 1" tubes I'd go Meostar or Tract Toric UHD. The Tract Toric is outstanding

Something about that rifle screams for a fixed power scope. The 6x42 from S&B can be found in both 1" and 30mm configurations, and their A4 reticle will show up in the worst of lighting. A used one can be found for rather reasonable prices.

The 1" requirement has to do with the scope mount that came with the rifle. Having said that, I'm afraid a 30mm scope might be too much from a aesthetic standpoint. Bobby, I have considered a 1" fixed 6. I have a Leupold FXIII 6x42 that just might be the bees knees...

Here in Alaska I ran a Leupold VXIII Matte 2.5-8x36 with a Duplex reticle on a .338 Winny since they first came out long ago. I never dialed with it and it was strictly a "set & forget" hunting scope. I fired many a 250 grain bullets using that scope for many years. It was plenty good for 400 yard moose and caribou hunts and years of using it taught me hold over. It now sits on a 338-06 I made up for a grandson.
I replaced it with a Nightforce SHV 3-10x42 illuminated and ordered the dialing tape so I can dial a 500 yard shot if I ever need to. I think a B&C reticle could be use out to 500 yards once hold over is learned and maybe the same for a Leupold Post-Duplex reticle. I have a newer VX3i version on a little Husky 1640 Light in 30-06 and it will be a "set and forget" scope for my use.
Alaska hunting, at least for me and the majority of those I know is mostly a non dialing scenario. Must be different in the "lower 48".
I am still learning this dialing stuff, got a late start in life. But the freezer is full of moose meat, so.....

My favorite 1" scope would be the Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 with green dot duplex. Reliable, light, good hunting reticle, and nice glass. Although I don't know how it'd look on a double rifle... +1 Have it and love it for most hunting areas.

I killed a big boar Wed night way past too dark to shoot with my scope on 6X, couldn't have made this shot without the green dot.

I have a couple of VX3i 3.5-10X40 and a few VX3 1.5-5X20 and happy with them all. But the OP asked which was our favorite. For me, that would be the VXll 2-7X33. Lite, compact, clear and bright. In my personal opinion, just about perfect for virtually everything I will hunt in my lifetime. I have 6 or 8 rifles wearing them now and 2 more NIB in the safe that I bought when they discontinued the line. Bad move Leupold!!! I sent a Vxii 2-7x33 in to be fixed and they sent me a new Vx-3i 2.5-8x36. It was definitely an upgrade IMHO

When it comes to European scopes with sleek lines, I've got a Docter Classic 6x42 that is pretty sexy to look at.

I have and have had several nice 1” scopes. The swaro z3 is hard to beat for light weight. I think the meopro is probably the best bang for buck. My opinions change sometimes but for now my favorite would be a Zeiss Diavari c 3-9x36. It is compact and light. Clearest scope in that range I have.

Not what I would put on a double rifle but a Schmidt and Bender Summit 2.5-10x40 is the best 1" scope I have ever had.

I think I've tried most of them and the make I like the best is far from being the most costly, that being Meopta.
