You might want to split the effort into a hunting scope (1.5x6) and a target(10x).
The mechanical problems with scopes that have a wide range (1x to 99x) get compounded when you move from one extreme to the other end.
Minute of head at 600 yds and minute of rack at 100 yds really has different requirements..
Again, as stated,, Requirements drive the solution...
Extending the requirements will drive multiple solutions...
Additionally, If you do plan to hunt eatable critters at 600 yds, you way want to step up from the 7.62x51.. A larger caliber round can compensate with
a flatter trajectory,, sometimes..
