As I said before I have a Leupold VXR 3X9X50 on it which is good enough for 300 yards so far on a 7mm mag.
Is there something that you don't like about that scope or are there features that you would like that it doesn't have?

The best way to get better glass is to be patient and catch good sales on scopes when the makers are discontinuing one or upgrading that particular one.
Boy it is isn't it.The Magnus is a beautiful thing.

Thank you. Sometimes I think my middle name is wrong. I've spent a lifetime around guns and hunting and camping and wilderness. Compared to what's available on this forum, what I know is tiny and mostly mere collections of limited experience. More than once, I've been in a bad spot in the middle of nowhere that could have been avoided or corrected had I understood better how to use what I had.There are many many people who can’t say, “I was wrong”, or admit someone else has a good point if it is contradictory to their opinion. You are a class act.
This won't help, then - how about $375 and same-day delivery for Prime members?If I was in the market and wasn't broke.......

ok if you want to be capable of killing a deer at around 600 yds some math is worth the time, with a slick bullet (162g eldx) at 3000 FPS out of the muzzle you will get 63” of bullet drop at 600 yds.
A deer’s vitals are around 10”, so let’s use 8” as the intended target, be conservative I’m favor of making a clean kill
Your range call and correction must be accurate to within about +/-15yds to keep the bullet in the vitals
In this case a scope that you can accurately and easily dial elevation is worth the money. It doesn’t need to be a super expensive scope to accomplish this either, but there are features that would be helpful
Either a mil reticle/mil turrets or Moa/Moa, pick your flavor
A zero stop function
14+ magnification range
Exposed elevation turret
Consider first focal plane or train yourself to check magnification before using the reticle for a hold of any type
If the weight is ok and 600 yds is a requirement https://www.eurooptic.com/nightforce-shv-5-20x56-zeroset-25-moa-moar-center-illuminated-c535.aspx

(Can you tell that I've been shopping for a new scope for a 358 Winchester that I'm building? )
I dunno why, but the idea of a 358 Winchester chassis gun just makes me smile -

Agreed.There's nothing wrong with paying for incremental gains in performance, if you have the ability and desire to do so. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who insists that there is no incremental gain in performance when moving from a $500 optic to a $1000 optic has probably either never actually done it themselves or has made some bad choices in how they spent that money.
An aside: I have two Vipers, they are not that great
Compared to VX3s or Monarch 3/5 or other such offerings in the same general price range - I think that the Viper stands up pretty well (more robust and repeatable than the Monarch with better reticles, better color fidelity than the VX6, much better eyebox and reticle choices than the VX3, and so forth).
Then that was indeed a real sweet deal. 2-10 is very versatile, I had a Nikon 2-10 years and years ago way before they became common, which is recently. Ended up giving it to a friend.Both my local gun shop and I have concluded that the Steiner G3 has better optical quality than the Razor HD LH. The blemish on my ‘sale’ G3 is cosmetic only; it looks like the wrench slipped when they were tightening the objective retaining ring.
For $551 shipped to my door - it’s a heck of a deal.
