To give some specific advice, if you want to be able to hit smallish (1-2 MOA at distance) targets at 600 yards, I recommend something like a Leupold 3-9 or 2.5-8 M/RT, or even a 3.5-10x. Or the Nightforce equivalent, the 2.5-10x32. Burris has a 3-12 XTR with similar capabilities. This would be a "Type III" optic, but at the low end of what people put on serious long-range rifles, yet still capable.

For a general-purpose carbine optic, where engagements might be quick at 20-75 yards, or on say 2-4 MOA targets at 300-600 yards, a TA11 ACOG or a low-power variable such as the M/RT 1.5-5x or the Trijicon TR21 would be good choices.
