A 2.5-8 or even a good old 3-9 would make it more versatile.
A 2.5-8 is good for a lot as is a 3-9 but all the cool kids here have to find something different so they don't make the grade anymore.
OP said his max shots are going to be "200 yards". The scope he has will work great for that application. If he said he'd be shooting 400 yards, I'd also suggest something along the lines of a 2.5-10 or 3-9x40.. As it is, that is a moot point..
I’d still be fine with the 1.5x6 at 400 yards for stuff I’d be using a 375 for…. Deer on up!
You have a lot better eyes than I do. I need magnification. I also shoot a lot at 400+ yards and I know for myself I draw the line at a 3-9x40 at 400.. Those are my limitations and I admit that.. For a while, I ran a 1.5-5 on my pre 64 model 70 375H&H and had to eventually step up for shots out to 300 yards. I went with a 3-9x40. Gunner owns that rifle now and I believe he uses a 1.5-5 Leupold on it. I may be wrong. Again, at 200 yards, I'd be comfortable with the op's scope.
