AA makes a fine product. You actually ordered the same one that I have.....You're gonna love it!
If you are looking for a good budget scope take a look at the Nikon Buckmaster line....lots of decent options without spending a fortune. My scope of choice was one that I already had lying around......a Leupold VXIII 3x9.....it's just a basic scope but the optics are great. I'll be shooting at similar ranges as you.....anywhere from 10 feet to 500 yards is possible. OTOH If I were purchasing new glass I'd get a bit more magnification but since I already had the Leupold and the quality is way above average it will work just fine.
As to your reloading question.....the cost advantages of reloading for the Grendel are far more than rolling you own 223/5.56. Get ya some brass from Lapua or Starline and load to your hearts content and don't look back......and from now on don't bother with the steel cased ammo.....shoot brass cased stuff so you can add to your component supply.
