It's a 17 HMR and I'm very interested in wringing all the accuracy out of it I can get. Let's look at some good glass but let's not forget we're talking about a rimfire.
Ready, go!

Leupold 3-9x33 efr (yes the new freedom one is ugly but the vx2s on eBay are crazy money)
Leupold 6.5-20x40 efr (aim small miss small pick off prairie dogs) better glass than the above scope

just put a LRTS on the 17 whoregnat. Thinking hard if I want to upgrade the burris on my hummer to one, too....

I like...

Hard to beat one of the SWFAs for futzing around at the range.

In the field, I want a more “outstanding” reticle, and probably a variable with a 12-16x top end.

Bob's 25 MOA rail and a 6x MQ.

It stands alone,with 10yd parallax,42+ Mil erector travel,an etched reticle that jives turrets,zero retention,tracking and repeats.

Hint...............

I Love the LRTS and especially the '12x Lit Bitch's...but just buckled,given these Politics. Hint.

Laughing!................

Can you (buy) Kerri back with that??? Or she still got that ass up in the air for any swinging Dick??? Hint


Laughing...................

hard to argue that...

I have that rifle and the 22 version I just scoped them both with Meopta Optika 6 4.5x27x50 scopes. Glass is great and the scopes seem good.

My T1X, while a 22LR, has a SWFA 3-9 on it since I had one laying about. Only fly is the lack of focus for really close shots. Might considering going to a SWFA 6X someday for the focus alone. But might not...

Put one of these on my CZ 457 17HMR. Midway had them on sale for $249 on Black Friday. Just got some snow so I may need to try it out on some Jack Rabbits.

Are you going to be twisting knobs? Are you going to compete?

Not with this rifle. This will be primarily for prairie dogs and other critters.

Got a couple leupold 6.5x20 efr that sits nice on a t1x, for sale in classified

I have these on 2 rimfires and like them very well. I haven't done anything with them other than zeroed them in and shot. They behaved perfectly during the setting process.

I have the .22 LR version, and I went a little different than most guys here. I put a used Schmidt and Bender 6x with a duplex reticle. Absolutely love it. Squirrels and pigeons don’t stand a chance.

Lots of good choices being mentioned here.

OSU..have fixed SWFA’s on a .22 and a .17 and quite happy there..

Thanks Certifiable. Are you running 6X or larger?

Those are both 16’s. I am a shameless fan of them on rimfires for my applications

Here’s a group from the .17 above at 100. It was the best group of the lot so yes it’s cherry picked but out of half a dozen none were larger than an inch.
I’m well aware of the drawbacks of the 16 over the 6 and have several 6 and 10’s as well..but for the life of me I just can’t shoot as tight with a 6

I have a 16X that is just sitting around not doing much. That might be something to try.

That looks really nice, Cotis. I have looked at them and want to hear how people like them before I jump.

I have a 6x42 SWFA on my T1X. I like it, but I sometimes wish it was a variable.
