The ACOG is still fine if it meets your personal requirements, and is about as small and rugged as you can get for a magnified optic.
If you want a zoom range, why not look at small, light 1-4x scopes like the Nightforce? Or the Vortex Razor 1-6x, which isn't light but is otherwise great and not terribly large. The Leupold Mark 6 is also a viable option and is relatively small and light for being a 1-6x.
I just got a 1-8x (Burris XTRII) and I'm looking at using it to replace a 2.5-10x, not a 1-4x. It all depends what you want though.
