Looking for suggestions, this will be my squirrel gun so nothing over 100 yards.
.22 scope may fit the bill Looking for external MOA Turrets so I can dial for a shot if needed. 1" tube Duplex reticle, but will consider BDC. Fine crosshairs Gloss finish AO/Side focus if possible Budget under $200.00 I may be asking for a lot at that price.
Suggestions or if you have something laying on the bench not in use let me know.

There are some Hawke scopes that answer most, however, the gloss is where you stump me as I know of no gloss made any more

You might look on eBay for a more vintage scope with a gloss finish, duplex/fine reticle. Not sure you'll find anything now a days with those requirements. Not impossible, but getting harder to find. Still lots of good older scopes out there for a decent price. I just remounted my old Redfield 2X7 low profile widefield on my Savage D-23 .22 hornet. Still nice and clear. My first range trip, it held it's zero through a box of shells. For what I'm going to use the rifle for, it's a perfect rifle/scope setup for me.
I checked eBay with a search of Vintage Gloss Leupold scopes. Lots of vintage scopes out there.
Good luck!

Distance is not the issue, but the winds can make it interesting!

Here is what i went with Cabelas Intensity 3x9 rimfire scope, heck I'm just shooting squirrels. Bought it with points so no harm done. Glass is clear and I'll get it dialed in tomorrow. Nikon doesn't make scopes anymore I have 2 of these and really like them, It's a 2x7 with external turrets.

I bought a Burris 4x12 for my.17HMR. Sighted in at 100 yards. Squirrel and coon killing machine for the feeder thieves.
