Libertyandlivelihood Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Now i know that this thread has probably been done before but after a search I thought I would ask again, What scope do people on here use from their .17hmr? I need something reasonable and that does not make a rabbit at 200yds look the size of a grape!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 There have been many topics on this if you dig a little. I fitted a Nikko Stirling Platinum Nighteater 6-24x56 IR. Its a lovely scope and doesnt break the bank. It comes with Paralax adjustment though, so if your not keen on that look around. The only other downside is its size. Overall though, I have no trouble with it and it does give a very good image both day and night. I dont tend to run it over 16 so you could also take that into consideration. And thats only because I like to see the target image larger in my scope. It also comes with a 75mm sunshade which comes in very useful for stopping glare from a scope mounted lamp.

Wookie Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I plonked for a Hawke Varmint II 6-24x44. It's also got PX adjust, but on the objective, not the saddle. It works and was a relatively cheap buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skb 557 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 MTC Viper my mate use's the viper on his 17hmr and its a great scope for the ££ but i find the rectal a bit hard to but he loves it and its got side px which is always good but id go for the night eater if i was you,,,, ive been told that rimfire magic do a specific 17hmr scope but im not sure what its all about but it all depends on how much cash you wanna spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 yip shaun4860 nikko sterling night eater - BARGAIN and great for the .17 HMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 bushy 3200 5-15 I've been considering getting more magnification on it. I thought about swapping an 18x onto it. The more I shoot game with it though the more I like it just how it is. For paper I'd go for more. For game I think it is just about right.
