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 agree with the FFP vs SFP, with the caveat that I really don't mind SFP on some low magnifaction scopes. I'm thinking the 4-12 range is probably where I'm leaning. I'm trying to decide how crazy I'll get with this build when it's just a side deal to take. I'm tempted to swap out the frame, and barrel but at that point I could buy something brand new anyways.

Look into the monstrum lvpos, they're super low budget. I fuck with vortex too but sometimes you just want to build something to magdump trash and monstrum is where it's at for that.
