Did a search - no results. What scope is recommended for a 17 HMR? I prefer fixed 6X on most of my rifles.

Just ordered one but haven't got it in hand yet. Planning to try a fixed 10x SWFA.
Do or do not, there is no try.

My 17 HMR is primarily used as a ground squirrel shooter, it has a 3-9 on it but I cannot remember ever having it moved off of 6X. For me that has more than adequate for use within 150 yards.

I have a 4.5x14 Burris with the E1 reticle. I use it for Prairie Dogs. I prefer higher x - usually leave it on 14.

I have 4-12x40 AOs on heavy barrels and a 3.5-10x36 AO Bushnell A17 on a light contour barrel Marlin 917S.
About the only time that I shoot a 17HMR is on pdog hunts while the centerfire rifles are cooling down and the varmints are within 150+/- yards.

Rimfire, or centerfire scope? Parallax issues?

Mine is a centerfire scope. I can't blame any miss on parallax, I just hold on hair at anywhere from 40 yards to 150 yards and my hit to miss ratio with it is probably the best of any of my rifles.

Rimfire, or centerfire scope? Parallax issues? My most accurate rimfires at 50 yards are wearing 100 yard parallax scopes. I think parallax is overemphasized in most circumstances. If you are going to be shooting regularly at longer distances, then it really won't matter anyway.

NOTHING is fhuqking funnier,than CLUELESS Brokedick DUMB Fhuqks trying to talk rifles. Hint. Congratulations?!? Schit rifles,schit glass and DUMB Fhuqks are a great recipe for HILARITY and you gals are doing "great". Salvage,Marlin and Burris...Jeezus Fhuqk you Retards are a RIOT!!! Hint. LAUGHING! The 6x MQ has no equal. You get the killer windshield and it's 10 Mil's,along with another 40+ on the erector. Parallax adjustment will getcha' inside 10yds and Infinity is also capably covered,with ALL stops in between. Hint. 'Course I ain't talkin' Barbie Doll Brokedick Bullschit Rifles. Hint. DO tell about your versions of "accurate" Rimfires,mainly because it will be funnier than fhuqk! Don't "forget" the particulars either. Hint. LAUGHING! Where do you CLUELESS Fhuqks DREAM this schit up?!? Bless your hearts for trying. Hint. LAUGHING!....................
