Im looking for a 4-12 for my Marlin heavy barrel 17 HMR. I use it mostly for woodchuck hunting in the warmer months and paper shooting. Maybe some occasional fall turkey hunting. Im considering the Bushnell trophy XLT or the Nikon Prostaff rimfire. The bushnell has the AO (do I really need this?) and the DOA reticle which might be nice for precise hold-over. The Nikon has a calibrated reticle for .22 LR, but thinking I could reference the drop to something on the HMR. The nikon is fixed parallax at 75 yds. Thoughts, suggestions? I also have a weaver classic 3-9 that I might try. After a summer shooting chucks with the tasco world class 3-9 that came with it, anything would be an upgrade.
