I'd like it to have turrets, maybe an illuminated reticle if it fits into the price range, and also a magnification factor up to 20x if it fits in my price range.

Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x50mm
Or for a little bit more money you can get illumination with a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50mm.

The Elite is a good choice. A used PST in that price range is usually easy to find on the classifieds here, also. The vortex Viper HS 5x15 from Midway is a great value. Although if you want to spend all of your $700 to get the features you want, I would go with a used Viper PST EBR Mrad reticle with mil/mil adjustments. You won't be disappointed at all.

Vortex Viper HS 5-15x44...I have two and they are GREAT at their pricepoint.
Scour the classifieds here and elsewhere and you might run across a Bushnell 4200 6-24x50 FFP in the $600-650 range. They are very good scopes also; I used to have one but needed more FOV for hunting to sold it to finance one of the aforementioned Vortex optics.
