I have Hawke vantage  side focus which was on my HMR but changed it for discovery ffp side focus  , far better scope imo

Don’t confuse me now mate😂

Be advised: the unburned gasses from a short barrel HMR will soon erode the aluminium baffles in a sak. Brother and I have both been there and done that following recommendations... Invest a tiny bit more in steel baffles such as an ASE UTRA rimfire: https://calibreinnovations.co.uk/product/ase-utra-dual-rimfire-moderator-1-2-unef/

Thanks. I will bare this in mind. Was looking at the sak mods.

What’s anyone’s thoughts on the dedicated caliber scopes. 

I’m now looking at this for the 17hmr as it’s a side focus.

First time I've seen that, looks a nice ret, better than their half mildot efforts. I'd not want to be using it at 16 mag to get those markings right and thats at 2550 FPS meaning a full length barrel.

I'd say use it at less mag and learn the distance drops but keep in mind a HMR, particularly a short barrel variant is typically borderline 1 MOA - so forget reliable grouping at much over 150 yards.

I use a BDC retical on a different scope at 8 mag to retain feasible acquisition, 16" barrel, V-max. Zero at 90 yards, first marking 150 yards. Second marking at 220 yards is just for pure optimistic vermin control body shots if getting closer isn't viable.

So. After been in the gun shop for nearly 2 hours Iv bought everything I need. Iv paid for my rifles. Just waiting for them to turn up.

Also got 2 Deben 6-9” bipod. 

2 wildcat mods.  

Sports match mounts. 

2 tikka gun slips. 

2 tikka rifle slings. 

And alsorts of bits and bats for cleaning them. A few quid short of £2000. Pleased as I was hoping for the £1000 mark for each set up. 

Thanks for everyone’s help/suggestions and advise. 

Lucas.
