Unlike Brett, Im blind so i prefer 18X, i dont think 12X is enough for a 22-250...infact i run a 5-25 Zeiss on mine.
If you are looking at the Bushnell Trophy Extreme 2.5-15x50 with the LR600 reticle, just be aware that the bullet drop hash marks may not suit a flat shooter like the ol' 250..
I cant see how 2.5X / or anything less than 4x (or even 6x) is going to be any good for much on a 22-250...if you need to zoom back to 2.5X then you are at least a good 100+yards too close & so you could probably save the round & kick the rabbit...! (hehe)...but the illuminated reticle is a bonus.
I also run the 6-24 extreme on a 204 & find the cross hairs pretty fat (thick), which annoys me on the odd occasion i use it during the day, but its great under spotlight which is predominantly what i use it for...
Having both those scopes & two 22-250's, id suggest the 6-24 which has a varmint type reticle will be more suited to the 250, unless you particularly want an illuminated reticle.
