Welcome Aboard Chuck!
Nice looking rig with a supressor no less!
My eyes aren't what they used to be, so my rifles wear scopes of all persuasions. The most useful for your range would be either a 3-9, a 3-12 or a 4-16, I would think. Personally, If knew I had to take shots at up to 200 yds, my 450b would not be the first rifle I'd grab and I love it dearly. Where I hunt, its a legal rifle zone. Not saying it can't be effective at 200 yds but I have plenty of caliber selections to work with. I do love my 450b for deep woods hunting where 75yds would be an unusually long shot.
There are some 3-9 scopes with holdover dots that align pretty well for the 450b. I don't own one but thee are members here who do.
