Default Are there any choices better than a Gensis for $200-250?

So right now I have a Remington Genesis I got at the end of last year on clearance at Cabela's for $100 after sales and rebates. At first I wasn't thrilled with it as it's had very light use and the bluing on the barrel seemed to scratch through very easy. The camo also had a few very small chips on it. I also slightly messed up the rubber piece on the butt pad but that was my fault. Still works fine you can just tell it doesn't look perfect. Overall I'd rate it probably 95% condition. However, after shooting it then hunting with it I realized I love this thing. It shoots great, has a awesome feel to it and just fits me like a glove. I had issues keeping guns still usually however with this I can hold it fairly still. Just feels great to me. I figured a hunting rifle of any kind will get scratched up so I shouldn't worry about the bluing scratching. I've only been hunting with it 2 days and already gotten 2 deer with it. Just a awesome shooting gun to me. My only real complaint is you have to unscrew the ram rod to load it but it seems like you do with a lot now.

Anyway, I had a buddy with a Knight whose scope went bad this morning. I told him he could borrow the Genesis to use this afternoon. When I talked to him tonight he says he loves this gun and wants to know if I want to sell it to him for $200. He knows I only paid $100. I think this is more than generous however, I'm not sure that even at double what I paid I really want to get rid of it being as I like it a lot and want to use it to hunt with for hopefully years to come.

Basically what I'm asking is should I take the $200? Is there anything in that price range or $250 or so that's better than the Genesis or should I just stick with the Genesis? If there is something better than this gun I will sell it to him and upgrade. However, if there is nothing better in that price range I will just keep the Genesis. I really wish I'd gotten two Genesis's.
