Looking for a high quality optic

Only one that comes to mind for me is the Bushnell Elite Tactical 6-24 x50 . It'll focus to 10m , illuminated, and has a couple of reticles to choose from..They make it in FFP and SFP . I owned the SFP and its a HELL of a scope . They sell for right at 1000$ . 
Tgey offer it several configuration s so make sure it's the exact one you want before ordering . And double check me on the 10m ...But I do know I used it on a PCP so it'll focus up close . Hope that gives ya at least one more option 
 
Another scope to consider that I highly recommend is the Hawke 10-50x60 ED. https://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Hawke_Sport_Optics_10_50x60_ED_Sidewinder_Rifle_Scope_Illuminated_Etched_Glass_TMX_Reticle_1_4_MOA_30mm_Tube/7428
The scope is somewhat large, so I suggest making sure the physical size will not be a problem before purchasing. 

I have been using this scope for over a year now and it took my Field Target competition shooting to another level. Overall, I like the scope so much I would not hesitate to buy another one if needed.

Edit: Sorry, I did not see the post above where you noted the range of magnification you were looking for.
 
Maybe a used March can be had for less than 1500?

I’m very happy with my 3-24x42 FFP.

"Grin_Reaver"Currently the best bargain by far (in near $1500 range) is Delta Stryker HD 4.5-30X56 Tactical FFP MIL/MIL IR
It competes with a lot of scopes in the $2,500 range and holds its own. Yes it is not a very famous scope but that is just because it is new. Beats all vortex, bushnell, athlon, leupold and nightforce scopes in its price range.
Wow I just looked it up it has a 25 yard parallax too This might be the one either way I will let you all know what I end up going with
