I have several vortexes and 2 of the older 4-16x44 DBK tacticals. I find them to be a good scope, and like you I faced needing more scope ffor older eyes. Which is why I tell folks who ask about what scope, I say it depends most upon your own eyes and what they need.
One of those 4-16's is still on my 243, which is a tack driver with 100 SBT's, but for grendel, 6Arc, and my creed's I'm using slightly better pst's, or the occasional strike eagle 3-18's. Lots of guys opine they don't need that much magnification but I do and I'm the one pulling the trigger.
I imagine that 6-24 will reach out to 1000 but you'll know as you look through it and try it. I got out to 1000, although 600+ was better, with a 4-16 HST on my 6.5 CM. 1000 was stretching that one to be sure.
MY strike eagle 18's can see 1000, I have a bldg off in the distance ~950 that I range to just for looking thru scopes, and it goes there fine, so the 6-24 of yours ought to get there. The only drawback I saw with my 4-16 DBK tacticals was the reticle was a tad too thin for me to use easily. But that's probably up to the individual.
PST's are top end for me b/c of the economics... but I feel I can do 500-600 ok with the tools I have.
Maybe 1000 is I work at it -- for that, not until the reloading craziness wears off though.
