Only optics I have used recently are USO and SB. This is a $450 rifle, and I have little experience with optics suited to this range and caliber. Knowledgeable suggestions, would be greatly appreciated. Reticle should be suitable for small varmint work.

Re: Best optic for a CZ varmint .17 HMR ?
I bought a last years model leupold VX-III at an outlet store. Paid $300 bucks for it and was really pleased. I have NF on all my precision rifles, but could not see myself spending that for a .22lr. I have seen a few of these on sample list. Many of them have the hunting reticles with hold overs. --Brandon

Ive got a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 with mildot on my CZ452 in .22lr. Its clear and with the mil-dot reticle you can hold for elevation and windage easily. The only downside is that it doesnt have target knobs, but with only a 50yd zero its not too bad. And I picked mine up used for around 200 bucks.

hate to say it but ive got a marlin 17hmr with a bsa sweet 17 scope on it, and it works perfectly, the bdc turret is dead on.

I use a SWFA SS on my 452 .22lr and am very happy with it.
It's a hand-me-down from another rifle. If I were getting one right out I'd get a Falcon Menace in mil/mil.
It makes for a great training rifle and I'm pretty dang accurate out to just over 200 yards (I've not put serious effort into anything further)

Thank You Men, this gives me somewhere to start. I have been checking all the
good optics sites and am impressed with the very wide variety of optics available.

nice little rifles. I've got a CZ452 in 17 HMR.. I can tell you what scope sucks... which is a burris 4.5-14. The clarity of the scoeps drops waaayy off above 10X. I guess if I just assume it's a 4.5-10 with AO, it's not a bad scope though

I was looking at the nightforce 2.5-10 x 32.... but it costs twice what the rifle does.
Still you can never go wrong with good equipment.... this will require some thought.
