Straight 4 or 6x should work! Are the modern 7x57's throated for the 175's or do they have a shorter throat. Never used a 175 in any 7mm that I owned,just used 160's and was happy with them.

Modern ones are throated for 175s, and shoot them more than flat enough to kill schitt at 300 yds. And you never have to worry about penetration...
