Thread: scope for 17hmr???

Hi all
Looking at purchasing a half decent scope for my 17hmr, which will be used for shooting hares
Any suggestions are welcome aswell as scope mount options??
Cheers

I've had several Bushnell Banner 4-12A0 scopes and they are good value - suit the rimfires well. Have one on my 17HMR.

The other make offering good value/performance are the Nikkos - esp the Airking or gold Crown models. Must have had a dozen Nikkos on various rimfires and have not had a dud.

how far are ur targets , ??
Half decent ??? Let me think ,, yep I'd have to say night force

I would agree with Mudgripz on the Nikko Airking range. I have them on 22LRs and love mine. They do a 4-12 that would be ideal. Should be around $200 including a mount. I have an Arctic Fox 4-12 here somewhere that is similar price and quality but you cant really go wrong with the Nikko. As for more pricy / better grade options, the Night eaters by Nikko or the Sightron S1 may be worth a look too.

im running 6 nikkos and they have all been good using I think its 4x12-44 air kings on 222 and a 22 hornet well suited for what I do

Get a Vortex! Have one on mine awesome scope 4-16 great for the longer ranges

How much you want to spend. I like a Burris Fullfield 2, Burris C4 or a Nikon Monarch or Buckmaster. Many other good options, all dependant on what features and price you want.

Been using a little Redfield 3-9x40 Scope. Compared it to a Leupold VX1 and the Leupold was a touch brighter. The Redfield performs well and has no real poi shift through the mags.

VX3 Nice glass and makes those shots very easy.

I use a nikko 4-16x44 AO mildot on my HMR. Its great for the price. The glass isn't vortex quality at 16x def not but its a lot cheaper.

Cheers for that guys
Idn???, probably looking at the, $250-$500 range, maybe 600 havnt made my mind up
Probably wont be shooting any further out than 150-200m but I will be doing close range as well, 30-50m?

Mate get the Buckmaster on trade me. Decent glass for the money and a good power range with the side focus too.

can you send me the link?
Cheers

You can match the dots with the hmr via the spot on app on the nikon web site. Pretty handy. I print mine off and laminate it for wet weather.
