    what you are asking for is quite a lot in that price bracket

    Arken EP4 if you can obtain one below $1000 it would be really good.

    Vortex Diamondback Tactical has almost the magnification (it's a 4-16), has the EBR-2 reticle, and is FFP... Street price ranges between $7-800...
    The Nikko Sterling Diamond Long range 4-16 / 4-24 is also FFP, but has a simpler reticle. Also around $700 street price. Both scopes get good reviews at the price-point. I would love to get either in 4-16 as a starter for learning the ropes of a tactical style scope at longer ranges with my 22...

    The 4X mag range (4-16, 6-24) gives a few more options in this price range than a 6X (3-18) so if you are set on a 6X magnification range, your choices will be a bit more limited in this price range.

    I agree, I can make do with the 4X range, it's still pretty good just hoping someone knows about something I haven't been able to find so I have been looking at those also,
    Would love a Vortex Diamondback Tactical but the bastards seem to refuse to Illuminate them which is a pain.
    Cheers for your input appreciate it.

    If you are stuck on that price point and spec list probably nothing, Arken meet most of it - 55Six have non illuminated ones.
    The new Strike Eagle 5-25x56 is a bit bigger and $1399 meets the rest... https://55six.co.nz/search.php?searc...ection=product
