I am looking for a rifle scope 5 x 20 or 6 x 24. I need to stay $600 to $700 range for my Boilt action rifle.

I have a Nikon Monrach with the BDC for one of my other rifles. I learned today reading up on  in that the Magnifiaction power effects  the range distance beteween the dots.

I aws not aware of that until today. I  would like to  know if that is like that for all scopes with dots or what and some suggestion on something in my price range

Regarding the effects of magnification on a scope's reticle:

A First Focal Plane reticle changes size with magnification, which means that measurements and corrections made with the reticle are valid at all magnification levels.  A Second Focal Plane reticle does not change size, and typically is accurate for measurement/BDC at only one magnification, most commonly the scope's maximum.
