Need some Scope suggestions...

I have a 6mm Remington barrel coming for my TC Encore. The entire rig is going to be Stainless with Grey Laminate stocks. The situation is that I can't find a scope to fit my needs. The primary use for this rifle will be coyote/groundhog sized game out to 500 yards.

The criteria:
1. Quality glass (Nothing cheap like BSA or Barska)
2. A good Varmint Reticle (Leupold's Varmint Reticle, Mil-Dot)
3. Target Style Adjustment Knobs
4. Stainless Steel/Silver Finish
5. Parallax Adjustment (AO or Side Adjustment)
6. Variable power between 4.5-14 to 6.5-20 range
7. 40-50 mm Objective
8. $750 or under

So, is there anything out there that meets all of these needs?

Thanks,
F-C

not necessarily a endorsement, as I don't have one, but what about thishttp://www.horusvision.com/hawk.php

the reticle looked interesting.. since it is First Focal Plane...

I'm in a similar situation..looking for glass myself... very similar specs as you..

prefer target turrets, and stainless..graduated reticle...

I'm not going to lie, that scope looks nice, but that reticle confuses the dickens out of me. Seriously that is way too many marks that I don't need nor know how to use. Something not too complicated would be nice...

I have looked at the Grand Slam, I like Weaver but I just don't know about that scope. It looks so bulbous and I feel like I might as well coat my gun in a gigantic rubber grip...
