You should try out the Vortex Viper 4-12×40. Viper is a new brand but ask around, they make quality scopes that I’d stack up against a $1000 Leupold any day.
I’d stick with Leupold. The Leupold custom shop can put most any of their reticle’s in any of their scopes. So for example if you wanted a Leupold VXII and it did not come with the MILDOT reticle, the custom shop can put one in for your.
I think $500 would still get you a lot of Leupold scope with the reticle you wanted.
What about a Leupold VXII 3-9×40 with MILDOT? If you are also looking for hand adjustable windage / elevation knobs then I think your $500 budget may be a little bit low.
Other scopes to look at are the Nikon’s. Lots of optics for the price.
