That should help. "I hope not..." Me too.
A good hunting BDC on a LPVO seems elusive.

Link for a Vortex Viper 1-6 for $460... But the seller (Botach) is not my favorite. I've always gotten what I ordered from them, but they can be SLOW and communication is bad when questions are asked, so "at your own risk" https://botach.com/vortex-pst-1605-viper-pst-gen-ii-moa-1-6x24-riflescopes/Viper meets all of your stated criteria and is a really good scope in my experience (others have had bad experiences with Vortex, but I'm a happy customer so far) I'd order quick because they only list a few in stock...

Here's the MRAD version of that Vortex (I think.)

I wish I’d bought more of the Trijicon 1-4 Accupowers than I did when they closed them out at $429 or whatever they were. The Credo is the same thing maybe better but more than $500 now. I’ve used the BDC reticle out to 700 yards and it works. The segmented circle is big and bold enough to be quick even without illumination while the center dot is small enough for precise aiming.

As others have said, a good 1-4 will be better than a moderate 1-6. You'll see the difference in image quality, but also in eye relief and eye box.
A Steiner is a great choice if you can find a deal on a used one, but they're not worth the $700ish that people are asking now.
If you can forego illumination I'd get a Trijicon Ascent from Eurooptic for $435. If you can stretch your budget a Trijicon Credo for $670 would be good.
The Zeiss that someone else linked has very good glass and is what I'd look hard at if you had to have illumination for $500.

Well after looking at them in person I bought a Vortex Razor 1-6 E with Mil 2 Why because in my hands you could see the much higher quality in it. I was not going to buy a China optic so yes I had to pony up more dollars but it’s one and done for me.

Who makes a nice LPVO for under $500.00 and a 1x6 in a 30mm tube ? Looking to put on AR15 .223 Rem - 5.56 What would you buy and why. Just throwing it out there as I'm not into LPVO for an AR, but if went that route I'd up the budget by $100 and get the SWFA 1-6x on the SampleList for $600. I understand that the extra $100 might be a dealbreaker but as others have alluded to, and I think ILya has written, it seems like there are slim pickings under $1k.
