I have three of these and I like them a lot but they are a bit more than the $200 you mentioned.

I just mounted a Vortex Diamondback on my nephew's 270 and the glass is very impressive, scope and turrets seem rock solid and you get the vortex guarantee. Amazing for the money. The sole issue I have with the diamondback is that, to me, at higher magnifications the eyebox seems to be a bit sensitive to eye positioning and the eye relief seems to shorten up to shorter than the 3.3" that they publish. However, I have not read that from others so it could just be me. By the way, the Bushnell I mentioned doesn't have the longest eye relief either so keep that in mind if you'll be mounting it on a heavy recoiling rifle.
