If 350 is as far as your shooting, a 3x9, 2x10 or 3x12 is plenty scope and you can keep the size and weight down some. That’s always my preference anyway.
Love the specs on that Spectra 6x but before i would drop that kinda coin i would make sure its made in Japan. Thats a ton of $$$$ for a Philippine made scope and there are other options in that area.
I was really impressed with the one i checked out. Liked it even more than my 3-16x42. They would not price match so i got its little brother. I still think its one of the most over looked bargains that covers the most bases. At $350 with a set of rings you will probably never lose money on it. Only complaint is the caps/turrets are really long. I would like it much more with an exposed elevation and a short capped windage.Sightron S-TAC 4-20x50. Prices are really really good on these right now. They have awesome glass & no issues on smokeless guns

I would be looking at the XTR II or an older XTR if looking at upper end Burris. They are HUGE though. You can get a nice Veracity also and it weighs much less. Occasionally Natchez has extremely good deals on the Veracity and the FFP reticle is one of my favorites.I've been a Burris fan for years...they are all I use. For your purpose this looks like a good choice to me. 65 MOA total elevation adjustment.

I have the Veracity 3-15x50 on my Plains Rifle and the 4-20x50 on my Paramount. I'm very happy with both of them and they do just what I ask of them. The reason I recommended the scope I did was mainly because of the amount of total vertical elevation adjustment. The maximum range I'd attempt is around 300 yards with the Plains Rifle and 400 yards or so with the Paramount. I'd imagine he'd be looking at even longer ranges than that with his proposed smokeless rig. As far as weight and size go I've never much cared about such things unless it was on a rifle I planned on carrying great distances. On a long range gun weight is my friend, based on the fact it's more stable on the bench and felt recoil is lessened.
Depending on the total amount of travel.JBaker, if you are worried about running out of verticle travel, you could always use a 20 MOA rail ...
