That Vortex optic is nice and will be a great shooter out to 600yds and beyond. Red dots have a completely different intended purpose of engaging targets that are particularly close (i.e: home defense), whereas any scope will be less than optimal in most home defense situations. The "do everything" solution of a red dot with a magnifier works for some folks, but I find it unnecessarily heavy and bulky. Since you mentioned "Bumps in the night", my favorite for the past few years for less than 200yds is a trijicon RMR dual illuminated (no batteries, works well at night, very minimal weight, easy to shoot both eyes open, doesn't block FOV). For anything 50-600yds, I think a LPVO is perfect and Vortex makes good stuff.

I think you need to determine the purpose for this rifle and then find a solution that fits within your budget. If you had a bigger budget, I would recommend a red dot on a QD mount for home defense, and then a LPVO on a QD mount for when you leave the house. Unfortunately, the budget you'd need there is probably in the $1200-1500 range (although still cheaper than buying a second rifle).
