Looking for a rifle scope with needed features.

I am seeking a Rifle scope for precision rimfire Benchrest shooting. It MUST be no more than 6.5X on the low end and as high as possible (up to 50X) on the high end. The reticle MUST be a thin cross hair with a very small dot.
The frustration of finding a scope like this is over the top. I don't care what NAME or PART number they give a reticle, I want to see the darn thing, few makers show you a picture of their reticles. You have to guess what it is or search for it on the web. A 6.5X 14 is almost useless, I need more upper magnification.
Any ideas???

Get closer to your to your target and you won’t need such high power! 😄😄
Will a fixed power scope work, or does it need to be variable power?
It must be variable. One discipline requires a max of 6.5X another shot with the same rifle has no upper limit.
Not exactly what you're looking for, but seems like a good deal.

Just a passing thought you may already looked into
ask some of the other competitors what scope their using
Best of luck in your search
I have one of these and am very pleased with it. Reticle is duplex but the inner crosshairs are spiderweb-thin and the dot is 1/8 MOA.
Go with a lower power scope and higher power glasses.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Thanks, that would work for sure but it would be better if the top magnification was higher.
Schmidt & Bender makes a 5-45x56 but it doesn't come with the reticle you want.
Holy schmokes! They're a tad bit on the pricey side, too!
Have the Leupold custom shop make what you want.$$$$
They shot Premier Reticle out of the saddle a few years ago.
With due respect, it's been my experience that high (20+) magnification can be counterproductive., My favorite (now deceased) riflesmith once told me, "turn it down to twelve power and you'll shoot phenomenal groups". He was right. Too much magnification can make every heartbeat or flick of an eyelid throw you off.

What size reticle "dot" are you looking for?
