Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Tell me about the BSA Sweet 17

I've aquired a 3-12x BSA Sweet 17 on a used 22 rifle.
As I understand the theory behind the scope the adjustments are set up for 17HMR. The problem is I don't want and will never own a sub calibre rifle. So, is this scope acceptable for 22lr use? Are there any centerfire rifles it could be used only
Thinking of sending it down the road, but it seems like a nice entry level scope. I've got a good 10-22 that could use it....
What are y'alls thoughts???
