What are my options in a low powered illuminated reticle.

I'm kind of leaning towards a traditional style scope. I imagine a 3-9 leupold firedot would do it. But wondering if anyone makes a fixed 2 or 4 with great eye relief and great low lightability. .
 
1x, 3x and 5x nice and compact decent eye relief but not a trad 3-9 firedot.

Lots of LPVO options these days but not many fixed beyond the super nice , non traditional ultra compact and lightweight prisms already mentioned
 
Quite a few if weight is of no concern. If weight is a concern then no many at all, look hard at trijicon 3-9x40 accupoint at 13.4 oz as one of the lights options with a 6x or higher top end.

The Trijicon 3-9x40 accupoint glass is a different level from Leupold, it’s like someone turned on the lights. Bonus is no batteries required. Downside is $1000-1100. Totally worth it IMO. But once cry once. No more Leupold for me on my main rigs. The accupoint one of the best hunters scope period. I can confirm rtz is rock solid if doing Kenton speed dial turret and dial elevation but you can get mil dot version as well to handle the longer pokes.
 
Leupold 2-7x33 (30mm tube) with the Firedot ... just carry it on 2x... but you have the advantage of more power when ever you need it and large view and lots of adjustment.

Plus one on the Leupold 2X7 fire dot for tight bush

I don't think they make those anymore. Would be nice if they did.

best options from them I see are these

https://www.leupold.com/vx-3hd-1-5-5x20-cds-zl-illum-firedot-twilight-hunter
https://www.leupold.com/vx-3hd-3-5-10x40-cds-zl-illum-firedot-twilight-hunter

both 30mm tubes, the 1-5x is 12.5 oz and the 3.5-10 is 14.5 oz, and need batteries and only get a red dot

for 13.4 oz in the middle you can get 1" tube 3-9x40 accupoint with better glass, no batteries, and green, red or yellow dot (green is the bomb...red becomes the stepchild once you have green)

looks like the trijicon is a similar price or a little less than the 1-5x leupold and a few more hundred less than the 3.5-10...it's a no brainer for me, the accupoint green wins, leupold should bring back that 2-7x though, it was an interesting option and it was lightweight

for the op, have a look at that 1-5x leupold I guess, too much weight imo for a 1-5x (30mm tubes do that), some think a 3-9x40 might seem too bulky for the close range set up but if can get over looks the trijicon on 3x is sweet, great light gathering, it's a bush/dusk/dawn champ, if can live without magnification try a holosun 507c green dot, I am loving my 'bush' rig set up with that, was plinking out to 400 with it recently, no batteries required for it either
