Looking for an lpvo in the 1-6x range that doesn't use a bdc reticle because I'm positive they are not calibrated to any bullet with a 6x45. What are my options?

Who cares if they are calibrated to any specific load. I have scopes with generic multiple aiming points on most of my rifles. I zero the crosshair at 100 yards. The dots or hash marks below the crosshair will usually be close at 200-300-400 yards etc. But never perfect.
I get to the range and shoot to determine exactly where the bullets are impacting at those ranges. I may be 2-4" above or below POA at 200-300-400 etc, but that is OK.
In the real world I'm almost never going to be shooting at something that is EXACTLY 200-300- 400 yards away. In the real world I'm probably going to see 180-325-370 yards. Even if the aiming points were perfectly calibrated I still have to compensate. But it's a lot easier to compensate for 2-4 INCHES than it is to compensate for 2-4 FEET.
I'll second the Swampfox, I've got one on a PSA 5.56 and it works well, clear glass for the price.For those on a budget I will suggest the Swampfox Optics Arrowhead LPVO scope. The Arrowhead can be had in 1-6, 1-8, and 1-10 with your choice of MOA or MIL reticles.

Even if it is, the environmental conditions, will add some inaccuracy.To add, after you've gotten your hard dope, just tape a little range card with the correct distances for the hashes on your stock or inside your flip up scope cap.
X-100
1st hash-210
2nd hash- 330
3rd hash- 450
Etc, whatever you're actually hitting at.
Even if it's "calibrated" for your cartridge of choice, it's not going to be exact anyways unless you're really lucky.
A few years ago, I spoke to the national sales manager of a major scope company. During the discussion, he said that the average Chinese scope costs $125 to manufacture, package, and import to the US.I just ordered a LPVO through aliexpress from the Vector optics store. This will be my first experience ordering direct from China. As a side note, Vector builds scopes for some of the major players so why not go right to the source. When it gets here I can post an update to my thoughts after i get some rounds down range.
leupold 1.5-4 you can have them make you a custom dial. I think its included in the price of the Mark 3hd but don't quote meI posted this and never got alerts to respond, my apologies. I'd like to keep it in the 500 or less area. I don't mind just plain crosshairs and a moa reticle would be extra nice. An uncalibrated bdc is just anoying...

Same basic method I use: This is for a Leupold VX6HD 2-12 with illuminated BDC. Dots are supposed to be for 300-400-500.
