Your post to me just screams for the Trijicon Accupoint 3-9.

The name Leupold and the terms reliable tracking, good glass & built like a tank are humorous at best!

I have the scope your looking for. It's a Weaver Super Slam 2 to 10 power with multi-x reticle. Locking turrets that track perfectly. 4 inchs eye relief and huge eye box. If your interested contact me and can send you pics and work out a reasonable deal.

Your description is that of the SWFA 3X9 Mill Quad. Super easy to use and the reticle is uncluttered and yet very useful... Agreed!

My go to scope, that fills the OP's description, is the Leupold FX3 6x42. I have at least a dozen of them, most with the long range dot duplex reticle. Several of these guns get used year round, coyote calling, and it's a very rare occurrence that any of them require an adjustment.
Most are mounted on a rail, with low Warne maxima rings.
I've been running this combination for 20+ years, and have had 0 issues.

A used S&B 6x42 Klassic or Nightforce 3-10 SHV are two that I really like for non-dialing use. The S&B can be found with a 1" tube on the used market.
I've had a 3-9 Accupoint but the only time I spent with it was sighting in. Seems like it would be a good fit for what you're describing based on feedback from others.
I've used a 2-10x42 Tract Toric for several years and it has been a great scope in my use.

I've used many brands of scopes over the past 50 years have sent back for repair most even some just tossed in the garbage never wanting to see them again....for a very good under $700 scope that is simple to sight it in and hunt.....Trijcon Accupoint 3-9 is the best scope out there it has plenty of maximum power and will take care of most shots that a hunter will encounter....a great point is the crosshairs are lit up by radioactive material no other company I now of uses radioactive material every other scope uses old technology a battery that can leak and destroy a scope or you are replacing expensive batteries all the time or trying to find one....

Shouldn't it be mandatory that the scope has passed the vaunted, internet "drop test" before being recommended?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I recently mounted a 3-9x Trijicon Accupoint on my 375 and hope to shoot it this week weather permitting. Midway was selling them for $600 delivered. Though unused I am impressed with the quality.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Years ago my answer to the OP's requirements was a simple Burris Signaure with the posi lock...not a great scope by any means, but reliable and tough pickup gun scope. Well, it died last summer, foreign objects floating in the view...lenses started yellowing, I sent it back to Burris Repair...they sent me an email Monday...unrepairable...they are sending me a 2.5x10 HD Signature with E3 christmas tree reticle. More than fair, I'd say...and I'm a sucker for any holdover reticle. I think they run around 350 bucks the innernut.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
