I think its set up more for hunting than long range also only the center dot is illuminated, not the whole reticle.

I also have the Helix 6-24x50 while its their cheapest scope its very nice. I shot that out to a 1000 yds with no problems. The new 2-16 scopes look pretty decent just heavy, they are probably better suited to LR than the Vortex.

Thanks 880m will be more then enough for the 223 it's used mainly for homekills but does a bit of pest control. How is the vortex in low light on par with most

It's the nicest scope I have so I would say its above average. I shot it out to about 500m at dusk and didn't notice any issues.
