AR hunting LVPO

[Jmeier1981]

I'm looking for a 1-8 or preferably 1-10 illumated reticle scope for a 9" 450 bushmaster AR... right now I'm running a Leupold VX6 1-6 with the firedot reticle but I'd like more magnification.
I do want a daylight bright illuminated reticle like red dot bright.
Kind of thinking about an NX8 1-8 or maybe Credo 1-10 but I haven't seen either 1st hand to compare illumination or glass quality. Anyone have any experience with these two, especially side by side comparison? Or am I missing any other options in that same price range with super bright illumination?
Ive got discount certs for Apex, Athlon, Burris, Zeiss, and Vortex that I could use if it's a good option and keeps me in that price range or lower.
I really dont want to spend Gen 3 razor or ATACR money, I mean there's really nothing wrong with the VX6 I'm running now, Id just like more magnification than 6x

I have the Credo 1X8 on a couple of guns and the illumination is bright, actually have a selector to determine how bright you want it. The illumination on my Trijicons is far brighter than any on my NF or Khales scopes, I have a couple of NX8's just not the 1-8

I chose Primary Arms PLXC 1-8, but if it was primarily for hunting I'd probably be looking for SFP and parallax adj. with maybe 1.5-3x on the bottom.
