Anybody using this combo? If so, do the hashmarks correlate to 17hmr yardages well?

I've got a spare 6-18 VX-II with this reticle just laying around. Would like to use it on my 77/17 but not sure if the reticle is a good match.

The Reupold 6-18 is a SFP steaming piece of schit and the reticle is a joke. Go MQ and never look back,as it'll connects by default.

6x MQ for me,on all my Hummers.

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

Oh My god! I could not disagree more. And pseudo profanity no less for Leupold! The 6-18 AO Leupold has got the be the best all around rim fire scope ever produced. Not limited to rim fire, but; for this forum rim fire. You have to spend a lot more to gain anything. Yes my choice 2-7x32 or 3-9x33 for hunting and a 40x for dedicated bench work - but; for all around best compromise and hi quality this 6-18AO is tops. The reticle is a 2nd level decision. I would be fine to simply ignore the hash marks. I never purchase a new rimfire scope with anything other than a fine duplex or maybe fineCH+dot.

What the heck is a hummer or a MQ. Mumbo jumbo, babble talk. Hint? Hint what? I am incoherent, so: I leave hints.

As for hash marks, they look too coarse and this is not a first focal plane scope, so; the moa per hash will vary with magnification. Beyond that, the OP already own the scope. Mount it and try it! Zero at 100 and observe POI out beyond.

The 6-18x is a piece of fhuqking schit,because they'll neither track or hold zero and their erector travel is hilariously trite.

Anschutz 1717D HB,75MOA Bob 1913 extended rail,MX and 39 Mils on the erector from a 15yd zero...with 10 more laying in wait on the windshield.

Hint.

Your CLUELESSNESS is rather fhuqking impressive.

Stick isn't much into holding hands. He has his way of saying things. Read through his treads and you'll catch on. SWFA 6X fixed, and 17HMR

With it's preferred Lot of 17 'Max(2630fps) the Annie 54 will get to exactly the 500yd line on the reticle alone,from it's 125yd zero...in the current atmosphere. That in itself,absolutely CRUSHES the piece of fhuqking schit Reupold 6-18. Hint.

Such things are readily apparent,to folks who ACTUALLY shoot and have a shred of sense. It's also black and white,even on Polar Bears.

Snowboardguy, that scope will work just fine, and you can use an app Called iSnipe to input your Ballistic info and apply it to that scope. It’ll tell you, at various magnifications, what distance each LRV dot is ‘on’. Of course you can always spend a lot more money for a much better scope, if you want to.

I had a scope like that for a time. It did go back to the doctor once. It’s now on my brother’s 6.5 CM.

Snowboardguy: A quick check of my on-line Rifle inventory shows I currently have 6 (six) Rifles that are using the wonderful Leupold 6x18 variable scopes. Some of those Rifles are rimfire and some centerfire.
I have yet to have a failure, of ANY kind, with any of my Leupold 6x18 variable power scopes!
That includes any problem with their holding/maintaining point of impact!
All of my Leupold 6x18 variable power scopes have the wonderful and useful "fine Du-Plex" reticles.
I wish I could be more helpful with your interest in the "dot/hash mark system in your spare 6x18 Leupold - just can't directly comment there.
I have been extremely happy with my Leupold 6x18's on my Big Game and Varmint Rifles!
I am certain you will be happy with the 6x18 Leupold you hopefully will have on your 17 HMR - I know I am.
All it will take is a trip to the range and taking notes on where your bullet strikes the targets using the intersection of the crosshairs then where the bullets strike when sighting with the two lower hash marks.
Then test those hashmarks at further distances noting at what range the bullet impacts correspond with point of aim.
I sight my 17 HMR's in at 125 yards then use hold-over for longer shots - this crude "Kentucky hold-over" works rather well for me!
At least a few tons of dead Varmints would attest to that!
Don't let any big mouth idiot try to convince you that the Leupold 6x18's are not useful and reliable scopes!
I have been using them for 20+ years now and I know the truth about them.
PERIOD!
Sheesh.
Hold into the wind
