For rabbits I would think the dot would be much better on a small target. My Kahles has only the very centre of the cross illuminated, which is quite small and does not dazzle though.Cheers for that, I was wondering if the dot holds concentration better, making quick shooting bunnies under the lamp easier
My Hakko has a central mil dot which illuminates and is the buissness esp for rabbits its tiny so does not obscure the target. Similarly have an illuminated central dot on my Meopta which I feel is too big. On my Mark 4 Leupold just the central cross illuminates and is fine. My son has just invested in a Vortex Viper and the whole reticule illuminates which I dislike. Also I have a NS MRE which has changable illuminated reticules and this is also excellent. Many cheaper illuminated scopes tend to flare out esp if all the reticule is illuminated. Overall I would choose just a tiny illuminated central dot.

You could try an MTC Mamba 3x12x44 with G4A recticle (Uttings do) meets all your criteria perfectly.
i have iluminated crosses on both rimmie scopes ,to be honest i dont even use them, you can turn the brightness up or down or change the colour but ive never even needed it, i think it comes down to experiance the more you shoot the easier it is me and my regular partner in crime have no troubles at all, but his son and three or four other lads all seem to dawdle on there shots and so miss bunnies, dont know if this is any help but just keep at it, atb doug,
As I said in my post Uttings have it in stock with the G4A reticle: MTC Optics Mamba 3-12x44 RIR Rifle Scope | Uttings.co.uk
