I really like this type or Horus 56 type. I don’t think I’d find anything near it for airgun slugs in .22 to .25, possibly a .257.

I don’t need anything real high magnification. In fact I prefer a low power variable. Down to at least 6x. If I had tons of cash, a illuminated 1x10 March I saw tripped my trigger. Never saw anything below 2.5 before until that one was for sale here.

I am honestly looking for Bushnell type quality & price no more than $1200 at absolute most.

Anything JWR has said is tops for the price is cool by me. I trust him as a review man, not a “Company” man. 
I don’t need HD, or ED. Wife would hate that, 😂 but seriously. $500- $800 is more likely all I’d be allowed to spend in current mandatory off work situation.


 
I wouldn't advise a 223 BDC reticle for airgun, but I'm thinking that you just like the concept of the holdovers???

There could be other reticles but the closest I can think of in a low powered scope is a Athlon Ares BTR 2.5-15x50 with APLR3 mil reticle. It doesn't have the big circle but all the hash marks in the reticle are all .2 mil, so bracketing these makes .1 mil, which is equal to 1 click of the turret on this scope, easily distinguished and executed.

Or a cheaper scope that might work for you, and will get you more action with the wifey because it's about half the cost, is the Athlon Talos BTR 4-14x44. With basically the same reticle.

Then there's the new for 2020 Argos BTR Gen 2 1-8x24 which has a somewhat similar reticle to that Leupold. Info is on the Athlon site.

If you like the lit center circle, but are happy will mildot lines, the Primary Arms R-grid 2B scopes are really nice.
