Looking for tactical optic suggestions that meet 2 criteria

Funny thing, the Millet DMR 1-4x 24 scope met your requirements perfectly, but I haven't seen one for sale in a while. They were under $500 and a great deal for that price. True 1-4, etched reticle, decent glass, bright enough for use in bright sun, even a "donut of death" reticle. A little heavy, but for under $500 they were "the cats...." An old member here even took one to A'stan and had no issues.

Found One! - for $339 it's a hell of a deal

Thanks for the advice I had that same scope, and it was hands down the closest to true 1x of any variable powered scope I've owned to date. Better than many of its more popular (and expensive) competitors. But I am looking for something in the next echelon.

Wanstalls have the Steiner P4Xi 1-4x24 Illuminated P3TR Reticle back in stock now.

Okay, bare with me: Trijicon TR24 1-4×24

True 1× and it's a fiber-optic illumination with a "shutoff" cover.

Only downside is the price, I got mine for $900 and other used sets are about the same.
