Congrats! Great looking lines. Nice piece of wood as well.
As for scope options - any quality brand in the 1-4× or 1-6× region of magnification would be good. Having a "true 1×" at the lower end eliminates any need for a separate red dot sight.
However, if you need the light gathering capabilities of a larger objective, then true 1× is not an option as far as I'm aware.
I have an older Swarovski Habicht 1.5-6×42 on mine. Love it. Also have a Khales Helia 1-5×24 which I considered, but it is simply not as good in dusk/dawn lighting conditions. But if your hunting is mainly done in daylight conditions, the objective size isn't that important.
Going higher than 6× (or possibly 8×) is not really necessary IMHO.
