I finally picked out my rifle.. cz-457 American in 17HMR. Now I need a scope. Looked at the 5 Best Scopes for 17 on Google.. but figured I'd get some real live input from you all. I'm planning on some plinking.. but, hope to get into whistle pigs/ground squirrels after I become more familiar with it.
Started looking at
Vortex 4-12x40 AO. Looked like a nice scope but two LGS I went to quit carrying them or don't think they are as good as other options. All in all it looked like a great scope.
BSA Sweet 17 was a choice by a few online/youtubers. Price is really good and it seems designed, optically, for the 17.
Hawke Vantage 4-12x40 also looks great. It has red/green illumination in the reticle and it is set up for 17 HMR. I would however, if available, find this scope better for me.. it if had a side turret for parallax in place of the lighted reticle.. rather than a front focus for parallax.
I've also looked at Nikon and a Leupold.. but find those above a bit more to my liking..
So, what are your choices.. any of the above or others.. considering it's specifically for the 17HMR and shooting distances at say 75-150 yards.??
