I am looking for a decent long range optic that has an illuminated mil-hash reticle in the sub 1K range to mount on a .308 bolt rifle.  I have seemingly narrowed it down to the following but each of them has various issues I an concerned about.  Any experience or opinions is welcome.  I would love an SWFA optic but none of them match my criteria.

Weaver 3-15x50 Tactical:  Good reviews.  Good price point.  Not thrilled about reticle.

Bushnell 3-12x44 Elite:  Good reviews.  Good price point.  Good reticle.  Questionable QC.

Vortex: 4-16x50 PST:  Decent reviews.  Good price point.  Ok reticle.  Questionable glass.

Any other options I am missing or should consider ?  Thanks.

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

The referenced optic does not meet the criteria of an illuminated reticle.

Why do you need illuminated reticle?
Freedom is something you take.
Respect is something you earn.
Equality is something you whine about not being given.

I enjoy shooting at dusk and low light conditions.

How about the Vortex 6-24 PST?  It's not the same power range you mention, but the one I have looked through had very good glass.  I have a Vortex 4-16x44 HSLR and the glass is ok, not great. The 6-24 PST glass was much better.
