Honestly, 2-300 yards is a close chip-shot. You really don't need anything special, unless you want to watch the chucks eyelashes while shooting.
If you want magnification:
Primary Arms 4-14X FFP mil/mil blows anything short of the $600-ish range out of the water. Frankly it flat embarrasses the SWFA 3-15 for optics at distance.
Next up for the Sub $1100 range is a Weaver Tactical 3-15. #800363.
Beyond that the SWFA 5-20 is a VERY impressive piece of glass. above that I can't afford
