Those are the exact three scopes I've been contemplating for this thing. I'm thinking the 4X12 more than others. I'm gonna rat hole some cash and keep an eye on the classifieds... It is a 17 Mach 2.

Just a little FYI for those that don't speak Canadien. Travis

It's a Magnum Research 17/22. Or something like that. You wouldn't even need ammo with that. The squirrels would just fall out of the trees laughing! OK, sorry, just had to say it.

Nice shooting. There is no accounting for taste. Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it. Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however, Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.
