Probably a good idea to do a bit more research and find out where those mildot scopes range at.

Weaver not sure, but probably 8-10x.

Muellers all range at 8x.
Nikons all range at the highest power up to 12x, then above that all at 12X.
I think bushnells range at 10X but I am not 100% on that.
Not sure about Vortex.
Sightron has a few scopes that range at the highest power, like 24 or 36X.

IMO, ideally for hunting you want a FFP scope with mil adjustments, but as you zoom in
the retical gets too big for target.

For your application, I think a 3-12X, mil/mil scope that ranges at 12X, and has a milhashII etched retical would be good.
I don't think there is a top scope in your price range like that though.

Milhash II is really nice for holdover and doesn't cover so much of the target.
