I put the same scope on my T1x that I have on my big game rifles. Leupold VX2 3-9x40 CDS.

no idea why you wouldnt get a black friday SWFA w free rings. 6x is extra versatile, but you can have 10x, 12x, 16x, or even 20x! the world is your oyster for $259

For The original posters intended use, I think they would be better served with either a variable power scope or a 6x max fixed but I could be interpreting their intended use wrong.

I'll vote for that one as well. I recently ran across one at a local gunshop and it was surprisingly low priced for what it is. I'm using it on a 22-250 at the moment, but can see where it would work great on a 17HMR.

My M77/17 .17 HMR wears a Leupold M8 12x40 with duplex reticle, paid $225 for the scope on this board a couple years ago. Wouldn't change a thing, though there are some prairie dog towns that wish I would.

A 6x MQ has more moves on the windshield,than the Reupold 12x does in entirety. Hint.

Also boasts VASTLY superior parallax. Hint.

I'll save zero retention,tracking and erector travel for later.
