Trijicon accupoint 3-9x40 green dot duplex.
I'm a leupold 1" tube lightweight scope snob and have mostly only used leupold but for hunting on all my rifles except 1 ultralight build that still wears a leupold 6x36...the Trijicon 3-9x40 goes on everything now. Once I tried it afield it was game over for leupold. It's an amazing hunting scope. The illuminated dot is of far greater value in real world on game hunting than can be described, it's very intuitive and fast. The glass is way better quality/clear than the leupolds. The adjustments are also a level above leupold, turrets and magnification ring and no Allen keys for turrets, lift and lock.
You can thank me later but that is the best all around hunting scope for predators to ungulates from 30 yards to 600 yards. You can get the mil-dot version for hold points that will take you over 600 yards. Or you can get a Kenton Industries Speed Dial Turret to match your load for dial ups but with your 200m work which is realistic and responsible, you won't need anything more than just the green dot duplex reticle. You want least clutter. Other nice thing about trijicon accupoint is no batteries. I get great dot illumination 40-45 minutes past sunset. Our legal shooting time is to 30 minutes past sunset and the dot works well past that, or before legal shooting light in the morning which is same (30 minutes before sunrise). And on dark body targets the dot is amazing, or darker timber or in the bush. You can see exactly where it is on a darker target. And we do a lot of coyote hunting, one of my main tests for this scope was winter coyote calling in bright sun and snow and the dot wasn't faded out by the bright conditions and even more enhanced once on a coyote, as I said, very intuitive for hunting. The reticle takes in enough light to magnify the dot in ALL conditions. Once it passed the coyote test it was all green light from there. Dot covers about 4-5" at 425 yards and it was easy for the kids and I to kill deer at 300, 355 and 420 yards with it.
It's also only 13.4 oz and will clear the barrel in low rings for proper alignment. It's just one of the best options on the planet for a pure hunting scope without any fat.
