A scope that has a reticule for .223 trajectory would be handy.

Well, as Gerbs has suggested above, that Bushnell AR series would fit your needs nicely.
They have surprisingly good optics for the price as well as the relevant reticle.

Have a look through one and you might be surprised. I have the 4.5-18 version on a fancy PCP and I'm fairly impressed by it. It's not in the same league as my Swarovskis/Nightforces/Leupolds.. but bang for your buck, you could easily do far worse.

And, to make them even more attractive, the price differential between here and the US is very minimal unlike other options

Yep just looked at the Bushnell 4.5-18x40 with the BDC drop zone reticle. $230us at cabelas ... bastards wont ship international though.
