I believe Zeiss and Schmidt and Bender also make something to fit your requirements, but I couldn't say for certain since they are both out of my price range.
Check out SWFA's site, I'm sure you'll find something to fit your needs.

If you want to acomplish this with one scope, that better be one flexible design.

With IOR, you should probably be looking at the 1.5-8x26 model:

It is fair bit faster up close than the (otherwise very versatile) 2-12x32 model.  This speed is largely a result of the CQB reticle with that thick horseshoe being pretty easy to pick up.  MP-8 that is in the 2-12x32 works a bit better at longer ranges though.

If you insist on having more magnification than 8x, the new IOR 2-12x36 might fit the bill since it is available with a CQB reticle and has a BDC knob.

S&B Short Dot 1.1-4x24 is an excellent design that does most thing well.  If you can afford it and 4x is enough for you, this is a good choice.

Ultimately, the most versatile scope out there might be March 1-10x24, but I have not seen it live so I do not know.  I will try to get my hand son it in January.

Lastly, one other option that might fit the bill almost perfectly is Elcan's 1x/4x or 1.5x/6x SpecterDR scope.  You can get on calibrated for 5.56 or 7.62

This is a dumb question why do people steer away from the ACOG's for this Duty Requirement.  Is it the price tag...  I have seen them run over it can be hit with a 7.62 and still function flawlessly...(39 not 54r or at least not AP never saw 54 hit one have seen ak round strike).  You can throw it down and not worry about it...
Also they are superb for fast target aquisition and can still give you the range.  I would say possible the fastest target aquisition for close quarters combat (EO-TECH 2nd but does not meet magnification requirements)

Most civilians baby their gear, so ACOG loses some luster.  And they are fixed-power, another negative in most civilian markets.

For a combat optic, they are good scopes; for a deer rifle, not so much: at least in the eyes of the average guy.

ILya, I've heard great things about March scopes, I too am anxious to play with one in January.  I have yet to see one on the range, so haven't touched one; but they are heralded as quite good.

Almost to much to ask but I am sure there is something out there that would come close to fitting the bill.

6yrds  at 6 yrds you point shoot you don't look at the dot you look at the target up to say 25yrds you do the same thing.
 
I do understand the need for more magnification but if you have the money put the ACOG in your collection... You will not be disappointed. You might even get good enough to go the the 600yrd range and have paper plate size groups...
