A solid choice.
But I'd recommend something in a 3-9 range. I find it's easier to acquire your target with a wider field of view. More magnification is nice at the range, but can be a bit of an annoyance 'out there'

Another vote for the leupold VXII. I would use leupold bases and rings if it were mine 
Thanks for the replies for far, guys. Especially, Boer seun who actually had a Stevens 200. It's nice that most recommend a Leupold VXII 3-9 scope but I'm interested in what guys with Stevens 200's in ctg other than .223 & .22-250 are actually using...
Kind of an 'informal poll'...

Bartell, this thread isn't about knowing what optics are best for a given rifle... The thread is about what actual Stevens 200 owners are using on theirs.
I know you are a Remington man. And you will probably never own a Stevens. That's fine. I have about 12 Remington rifles in my gun room right now. And a lot of them have Leupold optics. And for obvious reasons.
But I'm getting a Stevens 200 because, for one, I want to see what the hoopla is all about... 'Nuff said?
hey, no worries from this end
I *had* basically a Stevens at one point, a Savage 10 in 300saum, pre accutrigger, blind magazine.
It wore Burris Sig Series rings, Burris 2 piece bases, and Bausch & Lomb Elite 3000 3-9x40mm on it.

Well like I said I used a Bushnell on her, but use leup. on my 30/06 and yes it is a better scope but for low recoiling rifles I would buy a 3200 again just because it's a good scope for almost half of the leupoldt's price.
Actually sold the Stevens too you to buy a 3200 for my 7x57.
Now if it was my future 375H&H it would be Leupoldt again.
my 2cents

I have owned four Savages and two Stevens, all were topped with leupold scopes accept one. Does this make me qualified enough to respond to this post?

Sure, I would... but I structured this thread geared toward 'larger game' calibers. I figured the .223's and .22-250's would be geared toward 'varminting' and the optics might reflect that application.
The one I'm getting is in 7mm-08. Though, it would be interesting to see what other 7mm08, .308, .270 and .30-06 [and even 7mm Mag & .300 Win Mag] users were putting up for optics & mounts.
