Thread: Scope advice please HMR up to $500

Id prefer more soon than 3-9 so is that an option. I don't know anything of night eaters but I'll look into them now ��

Ive got a Weaver v16 4-16x42ao on my .17hmr that I'll put up for sale soon. Happy to sell the scope seperately.

Ballistic reticle works very well with the 17gr Hornady ammo. Zeroed at 100m, first line is 125m and second is 150m.

@smidey I had a look and I have a 4-16x50 Nighteater with a mil dot reticle for $399. This also has the sunshade extension to stop glare that can be screwed on and off as needed.

and there is a 3-10x42 Nighteater for $319 with a Plex reticle

There is also an Arctic Foz 4-16x52 there for $315. It is not quite as bulky as the Nighteaters. And it has the Adjustable objective on the front rather than a saddle / turret like the Nighteaters have.

There is a Nikko Diamond 4-16 there as well but it is $600 and a little over your stated budget. If it was my rifle, I would get either of the Nighteaters. I believe they perform as well as many scopes that cost much more. The arctic Fox fits in with the likes of Tasco, Nikko Gold crown and similar and I think the Diamond, while an exceptional scope is probably not worth the additional money for the application that you are using it for.

These are all brand new and still in the boxes.
