You won't find a magnified optic with 'infinite eye relief'.
When guys were using the ACOG in CQC, once they got used to the ACOG they didn't have an issue with engagements at close quarters. Most tried the gross iron sight put on the ACOG but went back to looking through it because that stupid notch and post thing that Trijicon put on the ACOG was totally useless. They taught themselves to use the optic and were just as fast as when using a M-68 sight.
BTW -- go under about 10X and you will have a real hard time seeing a target at 700 unless it is standing totally still and is in complete contrast with the background.
You seem to have discovered that there is a trade off between magnification and reticle patterns. The lower the magnification, the more dots and lines in a reticle get bunched up and become hard to see and with it your sight picture.
Oh yes, one minute dots will become very difficult for you to see in limited visibility and unless the reticle is illuminated, tend to blend into dark colored targets. Unless your optic is ten plus power. But then your CQB stuff gets problematic.
Good luck with your search.
