Subject: Two scopes for one gun?

I have no illusions about it being easy to do. I realize the amount of practice/skill it takes to do that. I realize what it takes and how much you have to practice to get that far. I know I wouldn't be able to get there with what I have now. I will probably buy a really nice .224 barrel in the future. That leave me with the option to re chamber as well, .22-243 .22x47 lapua, ect. ect. leaves me with lots of things that can get me as far as I can.
I picked the .223 because it is cheaper to reload than anything else out there. I reload because I have a lot of spare time and little extra cash. I want to put my money into reloading and practicing shooting, not saving for glass.
I am not looking for (1) scope that can go from 50 feet to 2000 yards. I am looking for (1) scope that can take me 500 and (1) that can take me as far as my skill can go. I know I can't find (1) scope that can do both.
I realize that if I spent more on glass I would be better off. But do I need to spend a lot on a scope that I use from 50-300 yards and have a swfa fixed 20x to go the rest of the way, switching as need arises? This is my primary question.
I do appreciate all the responses and love outside the box ideas.
