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

Can't go wrong with an SWFA SS 10x42 with mil/mil adjustments/reticle. Decent glass, good tracking, built like a tank, made in Japan in the same plant as Sightron. The new ones have a zero stop as well, so you can quickly return the elevation to zero. I've shot it out to 1000 yards with my .308 without problem.
