The power of the scope would be just fine, maybe better than a 3x9.  I would look at the field of view between the scopes you are deciding on.  Go with the wider field a view.  At 200 yards, 2.5 shouldn't be a problem. Usually the farther away it is, the more time you would have to move it to 7 power.  Mine is always on the lowest setting when starting out.
