I have a RAR in 308 and it currently has a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 on it. It is a nice compliment to the rifle. My RAR Predator in 6.5CM has a Bushnell Elite 3500 3-9x40 on it I picked up on sale at Cabelas for $120. It is a really nice scope and works well on the rifle. At one time I had a Redfield Revolution 2-7x? and really liked it. It would be right at home on a RAR. Oh wait, check this out: http://www.samplelist.com/Nikon-2-7x32-ProStaff-Riflescope-DEMO-A-P96829.aspx

What 20 moa base do you have on it? EGW It's the only one I know of. My only complaint is that it should have clearance in the middle of the rail for the center of the scope; I had to mill mine down to be able to mount my scope in extra low Weaver rings, and I'd still prefer it a little lower on this rifle.

I'd use one of the Conquests.

I recently switched out an EGW with a Weaver 20 moa rail because the Weaver sits much lower. But that was on a 700 Varmint. Not sure if they make one for the American, but worth a look....

200 yards and in - the SS 1-4x24 with the illuminated MQ would interest me but I'm guessing I'm rare on that.
I've been real impressed with my 6 SS and would be willing to give others in their line a go.

I have a RAR compact stainless in 7mm-08. For the moment I put a Bass Pro Nikon Buckmasters 3-9x40 with BDC on it until I can find something better. Price was right.
I pick up a Tikka T3X lite ss tomorrow in 270 Win, and I'm sticking a Nikon Monarch 5 on that.
Were I you I'd consider that SWFA SS 1-4x24 illuminated alluded to earlier. For 200 and under it might be the berries.

I found that Warne bases and low rings will drop the scope down quite a bit more than the Weavers. With a 40mm bell, there is just enough room to get a scope cap on above the barrel, with no contact.

It's been posted before, but here is a picture of my Howa Lightweight with a Leupold VX-2. The rifle is fairly compact, only 39 inches long, and a 3-9 looked huge on it.

I have a Leupold VXIII 1.5-5x20 on a Marlin XS7 .243. It works well on deer and antelope. It isn't the best low light scope I have but that isn't an issue 99% of the time.

YES!!! I have 4 mounted right now, absolutely perfect for your application. Hard to beat a good 4x, and hard to touch a K4 for anywhere close to the same price.

I have a 2-7 Vx-II on my ranch rifle. Just about perfect for that gun in 300 BO. If we are talking the full size I would go 3-9, and prostaff was the first I thought of when I read your question. A Vx-1 or Vx-2 would work too. But I agree with those that say use the conquest that you have. I have those on all my serious hunting rifles.

Leupold VX III. 3x10 is what I have on my Rock River 308 Varmint. It's the CDS model.
