best scope for under $200 please help

Vortex Diamondback 4-12x40 w/ BDC reticle. I have it on my 22-250. Optics are crystal clear & do very well in low lite.
 
Hello there. I purchased a Savage Arms Axis XP 25-06 package deal for $370 befor tax at my local gun shop and love my rifle. It came with a 3-9x40 Bushnell on it and I sighted it in after it was bore sighted with in 4-5 shots. I can hit inside a 1.5 inch group in five shots at 200 yards on 5 power. I have no problems with this scope and I am sure I wouldn't have any problems hiting a target/yote at 300 yards. Yet I have only had the chance to take a 200 or so yard shot at a dog at this point. I am not exactly sure what scope it is other than knowing what the number is stamped on the underside of the scope. This number is 76-3945. If you would like I can do some research by calling Savage and find out what exact scope they use and get back to you.
 
Take a look here:

LOL, just get a BSA Majestic DX model. Depending on magnification of scope, its cost should be $110-$150. Have 3 of them, all the 6-24x44 model, and glass is clear and bright in mine at all powers and more than adequate for my range target shooting with centerfire rifles. Any adjustments for Windage/elevation/side focus and etc., work just fine in mine. Majestic DX models were new for 2011 and has BSA version of a full life time warranty, called the CEO Warranty. Not much out there on internet when it comes to reviews or comments on these new Majestic DX Hunter models, but mine have worked well. Just a thought and good luck on finding your scope.
