OP - have you looked at the Leupold VX-6 3-18 X 44 or 50?

B&C reticle or Custom Drop Dial - drop reticles work at only one magnification unless in a first focal plane 'scope.

Would seem to have the kind of magnification range you want. I have one and can attest to the quality of its optics ... throughout the 6X soom range at all points.

Or the VX-6 2-12 X 42 ...
