Scope Suggestions for .223 (fosscad.io)

Bullets are expensive so I'm building up Remington 700 in .223 to soften the 💲cha-ching 💲 of every trigger pull. It's mostly just a side project so I'm not dumping money into it, but maybe $300-500 for a scope. It'll be for around 600 yards. I'm thinking maybe just a Vortex Crossfire II 4–12x50 or maybe I'll go up to a diamondback. Anyone care to add opinions? I know there's not a ton of activity here but maybe we can drum up some

I have this on my .22lr trainer:

https://swfa.com/collections/swfa-ss-gen-2

But it's rated for up to .50 BMG. Stuck at 10x though - but it's a nice scope.

EDIT:

I have this specific one: https://swfa.com/collections/swfa-ss-gen-2/products/ss-6x42-30mm-mq-gen-2-zero-stop-copy

But the main difference is the reticle.

I've considered getting a fixed power scope before but I'm always afraid that I'll end up hating it and wishing I had gotten something else. But on the other hand...how often do I change the magnification on a range gun anyways.
