[felix5616]

looking for suggestions for a scope for a 17HMR rifle

 

[Moose]

Need more info.Price point what are you going to use the scope for how far will you be shooting.

 

[felix5616]

[Moose]

Take a look at the SWFA 6x or 10x SS scopes.

I use a couple of those little 3-10 Weaver tacticals SFP mil/mil nice and light. $200-250.

Mine is currently wearing a SWFA 3-15x42 FFP, which has become my default rimfire scope. It previously had a Vortex HS-T 4-14x, which was responsible for a number of groundhog kills around the property.

I have a Tract 22 FIRE 4-12x40 Rimfire Rifle Scope with the BDC reticle on my Kidd 22lr. Also a Tract 22 FIRE 3-9x40 Rimfire Rifle Scope with the BDC reticle on my CZ 457 Varmint MTR 22lr. Tract is not a well known company but they make really good scopes at a fair price.

Not a huge fan of BDC, but curious how well their BDC works with different ammo on your KIDD? Tract punches above their weight with their Toric, but I'm assuming at the price point of the FIRE it's got to be Chinese, so curious how reliable its been and how decent the optics are.

EDIT: Just saw they are made in Philippines. Also saw it has fixed parallax at 75yds for the 4-12, how clear is the image at 50 and at 200 for instance? With the 3-9 parallax is set at 50yds so how does it look at 25 and again at say 200?

I haven’t been able to use the Kidd because I just got it and all the range are closed. I don’t have a lot of experience with scopes but the scope on my CZ is sharp and bright at 50 and 100 yards. I believe the glass comes from Japan. They only sell direct.

felex, take a look at the Bushnell, you'll be surprised I think.

 

[Paralax]

It would be worth taking a look a the Bushnell Nitros that are on clearance right now, they seem interesting for the price. The Athlon Argos line would be worth checking out in that price range as well.

this might get kicked off the hide hahaha!

this thing has been on two .17’s for me now. Great scope for a truck and plinking application. Research it a bit, maybe some YouTube. You’ll be happy with it

At the top of your budget a used Athlon Midas TAC.
Or Argos BTR 6-24.
I love the reticle in the Talos BTR 4-14, it's my preferred "cheap gun" or backup scope. I always seem to have one in the safe for emergencies.
Talos SFP mil/mil has been such a great scope for needing a big mildot reticle and for mounting on little rifles. It's mil/mil which is rare for this type of scope. Sub $200.

All of these focus close.

Take a look at the Sightron SIII scopes that Scott is running a special on. I'd look at the 3.5-10x or the fixed 10x

Liberty Optics Closeout

Plain old 3-9x40 hunting scope. Leupold or similar. You don’t need much scope on a 17hmr i side 200 yds

I’ve had Hawke scopes on my rimfire rifles for years. They are affordable, and their rimfire BDC reticles are dead nuts. Buy the ammo the reticle is calibrated for and go kill varmints!

 

[jacksaligari]

I’ve got a Leupold 4.5/14x40 on my Cz Varmint 17hmr I think it’s the perfect fit

I just happen to have a SIII that I bought from Scott many years ago on my Tikka T1x. At those prices, hard to beat.

If you can find a Bushnell AR Optics Rimfire Rifle Scope 2-7x 36mm with Drop Zone-22 Rimfire BDC Reticle it’s worth consideration.

This is what it looks like https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020066171
