Default I need help with scopes

On my 300 RUM, I have a 4.5-14x Nikon buckmaster scope. While shooting at the range, I have caught the scope above my eye on several very painful and bloody occassions. Clearly, there is not enough eye relief, and I need a new scope. What do you guys recommend for under $600? I need something with a lot of eye relief and I would like at least 10x magnification. On my 30-06 I have a 3-10x(I think) Leupold variX-III....I like it, would it be good for my 300 RUM? Also, I just bought a Weatherby accumark in 7mm STW. what would be a good scope for this, considering the same criteria? will the 7mm STW recoil like the 300 RUM or more like the 30-06 or neither? One last thing. If I really need to spend more than 600 for each scope, I will, but I would rather get a good scope for under 600.

Thanks!
Rob
