Distance to target and size / type target is needed to be realistic in making a suggestion but these are scopes I would consider strongly.

Funny, that is the same scope I was thinking of installing on my project once it gets assembled.  Diavari is a great scope.

For a general big game rifle hunting both bush and open ranges, the mentionen Zeiss 1,5-6x42  with #4 is hard to beat.
It is discontinued, replaced by the Victory HT, but can still be found.
I just get hold of one here in Norway to a bargain price Big Grin
 
I have Zeiss Victory Diavari (with Lotutec and #4 reticles ) on my 35 Whelen and 308 Win, and they are crisp and clear with very good low light qualities.
