I'd throw in a vote for the Trijicon with triangle post reticle.  I have a 3-9 and a 2.5-10 and really, really like them both.  The point of the triangle is a good fine aiming point.


I took a 500 pound Russian boar this weekend with a 2.5-10 Trijicon (with red triangle post reticle) and put the round +/- 1/2-inch of dead nutz at just over 100 yards.


I agree with ILya that a mil dot will not be ideal for a 100-200 yard gun.  And FFP isn't going to domuch for you either: my experience with 1-4 FFP is that it is almost unusable at 1X or is way too big at 4X (for small, small targets, that is.)


The 2MOA Aimpoint is a good optic (M3), but I'd consider some magnification a good thing.

That 1.2x4 trijicon looks pretty intersting.  The K-dot caught my interest for a while, but is pricey.  Then the Millet DMS 1-4 (I think) caught my eye.  You may want to look at them.
 
Also an eotech has a 1moa dot surrounded by a 65 mon circle for quick or precise shots.

I hear from a very reliable source that Millett is having some quality issues, I'd take the DMS-1 off the table till things get straightened out at Millett.


The EoTech is a good optic, widest field of view you will get.

I went with the 2moa Aimpoints rather than the EOTech based mainly on the extended battery life of the Comp M4.

Do you check to see if it is a boy or a girl and or like to be discretionary... Iron on a chipmunk at that distance sittin up should be doable...

Take a look at the Burris 1-4XTR.  I bought one from SWFA about a year ago and I love it.  Works like a champ.  

The NightForce NXS w/mildots is also a good optic.  I've got a couple of them and can't say enough good about them.  

The only 1-4 I know of that has a FFP reticle is the S&B Short Dot.  Great glass, but definitely pricey.
