I got eyes on a Trijicon Ascent 1x4. Not illuminated but great glass and lite. Very nice.
I may need to some reconfiguration.

I have a set of these on one or two of my rigs and they are nice: https://www.lwrci.com/Sights_c_40.htmlOn topic of BUIS, who makes a good set out of metal? I don’t want plastic.
I recently visited a LGS to look at their C&R's and also checked out their optics. They had a Trijicon Ascent 1-4x24 that I really liked the glass and weight, but no illum.Glass quality is not in the specs. How clear and the distortions in the glass. not in the specs.
Don't know what you call it "eye relief sensitivity" how much distance from eye to back of scope and you still see the entire circle. that's not in specs.
Ruggedness and repeatability of the glass, not in specs. That's does the glass move shot after shot throwing your POI off? cheap glass will do that.
My rule of thumb is 50%-75% of price of the upper is the sweet spot/bang for the buck. There are people that will spend less and people that will spend more. You don't need a high $ scope though for an upper and your ammo that can only do 2 MOA. a 4x scope with forgiving eye relief can do the trick IMO.
I have a variety of uppers ranging from a good quality target barrel with a $250 scope that shoots <1MOA from the bench with reloads, Red dot on a 2MOA gun and peep sights on a 2MOA gun. I shoot the peeps most often cause I'm shooting offhand at 100 yards onto big 12" steel plates. I just count any miss.
Everyone is different but I can say this after learning the hard way first. cheap glass can frustrate you and limit your gun below its ability.
enjoy.

The rest of my rigs have Magpuls.
