I need to settle on a scope for my new 7RM (see photos in the link below) and I thought I would post a thread here rather than the goat rodeo the optics forums usually turns into for suggestions and recommendations.

Parameters I would like to fill: (if possible)

Preferably a variable power with at least a low setting of 6X in case of a closer shot. Though I am not totally opposed to a fixed power.

General purpose hunting of deer (or larger) sized game out to 500 yards for the most part and occasional target shooting to the same distance.

Decent glass and especially mechanical reliability

Good eye relief ( 3.5 inches +) Necessary to coexist with my bifocal glasses

Decent Eyebox

Either a duplex , German #4, or Mil-Dot style reticle

Keep the total rifle weight down to the 10 lb range (weighs 8.79 lbs sans a scope)

Cost low enough so that I don't have to sell my last remaining testicle to be able to afford it ( ideally $1200.00 or less)
