Would like to keep it under $200. I am thinking Vortex Diamondback at this point.

Thanks again.
I like those but also look into burris fullfield II and Nikon buckmasters....great bang for the buck as well. For deer hunting id normally suggest a simple 3-9x40 but you might want some more power for varmint out to 200...P-dogs have tiny kill zones and may require some good power to see clearly at 200 yards. You can find 4.5-14x42 on ebay for under 250 sometimes right at the 200 mark. I have one and it has been great.
