I would not recommend 4x scope for 17 hmr.

people buy 17 hmr for 2 things:
1. Target shooting at 80m-150m, in which case you would want at least 12x at max magnification.
2. small game shooting at 50m-150m, such as possums, rabbits and unprotected/non-game birds. These are small targets, again, I would say at least 12x is required. Some people make do with 9x but I think it is stretching it for small targets at these distances.

I personally use 6-18x on my 17hmr.

Whats your budget

What I want is that the price is not too expensive, and the quality is better.

Need more info, what do mean cost effective?
One of my Nightforce scopes has got me 202 deer in the last 4 years. 202 x 20kg average = 4,040kg of boned out meat , times that by $25kg if I bought it at the supermarket = $100k. So it’s easy to justify the cost to the mrs. But it all depends on what you’re shooting and actual budget.

I think this post in the introductions thread probably summed it up best......

Hunt Enthusiasm, I have looked at the range of 4x32 scopes available, and don't really see one that stands out as being good quality and good value. It may be there, but I can't see it.

You might find it helpful to look at 3-9x40 scopes, as there are more choices.

It really comes down to how much money you want to spend I guess.

Thank you for your answer

Are we talking center fire or Rim fire??
Nikon Prostaff are good valve.

Nikko Stirling are a fairly good scope for an entry level option. As mentioned- more options in the 3-9x40 but if you really want a fixed power they have their uses. Also look at a 4x40 or 6x40 as an option. There are various choices.
It depends more on what you are using it for? Your use and requirement will enable better advice.

A cheap scope can do some jobs well but may not handle what you may want to do- replacing them is not economical. Buying an expensive scope when a cheaper one will do the same job is also not economical.

buying a hilman hunter to drive on forest tracks will kill it quickly, but while a new hilux will do this better, leaving the car parked outside work on night shift in town in a small car parking space, I would suggest the hilman would have the edge...(Which will hurt more to say to the insurance company?: that my $1000 Hilman was stolen on Friday night or my brand new Hilux had $10,000 worth of damage after being stolen on Friday night?)
