Guess I'm the odd one out. My M77/17 wears an old Burris 6x Fullfield with super fine crosshairs and a DOT. It will huck the fell out of the varmints I use it on out to 200yds which is all the farther I shoot at fur or feathers with the 17 hmr. Mb
I'm in the 6X corner myself.
I put a SWFA 6X MQ on my HB Ruger .17HMR.
Parallax adjustable and I simply dial the distance for elevation, use the MQ marks for wind hold off....
Simple, straight forward and effective.
