If you're looking to shoot rodents to 250, it sounds like you want to add a little more magnification. One nice thing about technology today, you don't need to spend as much and can still get the next level of quality for a lot less.
Our TRACT Tekoa 4-16x44 is worth a look. Step up in magnification which can certainly fit your needs. Made with Schott HT glass and a glass etched reticle coming out of the LOW factory in Japan. Target and custom turrets options are available for this model as well.

All the quality components you'll find on scopes about 30-40% more at retail. Being that were a direct to consumer only company, that added margin is now saved.
For a little north of your budget, we also have the Toric 3-15x42. This model has all the nice features. Same Schott HT glass, 4" constant eye relief, zero stop turret, target turret, glass etched reticle, etc...
