Are any good 2ish-to-10ish scopes ("MVPO's", if you will) "daylight bright" like a good LVPO?

I'm not entirely sure what I want but I think I know what I want.

I'm looking for the mythical "do it all" scope for a semiauto, say for deer out to ~500 yards and also for flushed pigs at ~10 yards. I would like to see in the shadows better than an LPVO, but I'd like an illuminated reticle to be bright enough to keep both my eyes open during the daylight like I'm used to doing while playing games with a 1-6x24 or a red dot.

So I'm looking at scopes like the Trijicon Credo 2-10x32 (FFP) and 2.5-15x42 (SFP), or the Nightforce NX6 2-12x42 (FFP) or NXS 2.5-10x42 (SFP). Do any of these have the infamous "daylight bright" reticle that'd remind me of a red dot or the bright dot of an SFP LPVO? Or is their illumination intended to be more for seeing the reticle in the dark, and not for quick reflexive aiming? (The reviews I read mostly indicate the latter, at least for the FFP models.)

I do see some scopes that are explicitly advertised and referenced as being stupid bright... The March 1.5-15x42 does it by being a dual focal plane scope, and seems like it'd be awesome but it's well above my budget. And the Primary Arms SLx 2-12x40 has their "Nova" fiber reticle on the SFP, but is a bit below my budget.

My alternative plan is to hang a red dot on a fixed 6x or 10x, but I'd rather have a single scope than a contraption. (And it seems like SWFA is the only good fixed scope, but their turrets are so large I reckon I'd need to offset mount the dot if I went that route.)

Take a look at the GPO SPECTRA 4x 2.5-10x44i - G4i Drop, GPO Centuri 2.5-15x44i or the Hawke Vantage 30 WA 2.5-10x50 - L4A Fiber Dot

If you were not looking to dial, I'd just grab a capped 2-12 NX6 4ai and throw a top dot on a reptilia mount - thats what I use for all my tomfoolery and varmint control.
Shoot me a message if you are interested, ill throw a quote together mocking up my setup

See if you can get a look through an accupoint with the triangle post reticle. Accupoints are not “illuminated” per se, but the triangle post is the closest to a dot. 500 yards is a stretch imo though. 300 yes. Past point blank range i’d need a reticle or dials. I feel like to get both you are necessarily compromising to at least a degree.

The trijicon 2-10x32 is a cool scope but the reticle sucks for hunting. WAY too fine for your 10 yards daylight bright requirement. The NF reticles Ive used suck for close up stuff too imo, but that 4ai is just a german #4 reticle. Great at point blank range, just no wind holds. If NF took that exact reticle and added mil dots with no other change…I’d already own one. That doesn’t help with your daylight bright dot, but I’m not sure either of those options are going to suit the breath of your requirement.
