Id probably suggest a 1-4, 2-7, or 3-9 ish variable. The specific option would primarily be personal preference in terms of form factor and features desired,
Personally Id go with a 4/6 to 14/20+ because thats what I like using on most (only scopes I have on rifles that don't fit that profile, are my .375 with a leupy 3.5-10, and my .257 with a Leupy 3-9) of my rifles......I have a older Riton x5 (full disclosure its going back for repair) 3-18x44. Its a really nice scope for the cost, and IF my .243 wasnt a 99 id probably use it or something like it on there....as Is im considering keeping the k4 or possibly replacing it with something that LOOKS and feels similar but has a higher magnification/range.
