What scope do you have on your 17hmr
I have a 3-9x32 Nikon rimfire on my ruger 17hmr.
It’s a great scope, but recently I have been noticing that 9 power is just a little too small when I’m trying to reach out past 125 yards on particularly small targets. What scope are you running? Looking to increase my magnification without dealing with parallax issues.

Not quite apples and oranges comparison, but...
Our cz455 has both a .22mag and a .17 hmr barrel. Right now I'm searching for the right scope for both barrels. I had a Sightron s1h-tac 4-12ao on it that really worked, except for the target knobs. Haven't pulled the trigger on it yet, but I think I'll end up with the 4-12 s1h-moa https://sightronusa.com/product/sih412x40ftmoa/. I think 12-14x is a good max power compromise. It pulls in small things at 200yds without going overboard on weight. I'm also finding that I want an AO on the scope. Fixed parallax is great on rifles meant for larger targets, but it sure is nice to be able to focus in and eliminate it on that small spot, regardless of range.

I'm running a Athlon Midas Tac 6-24X50 on my CZ 455. It's a Chinese made scope, but I haven't had any issues so far and it actually tracks. It has an adjustable parallax from 10yrds to infinity and weighs about 26oz. Street price is about $600.

I mount the older Simmons 3-9x32 WA A/O .22 MAG Matte on my Marlin xt17R. It's dead on where I point the crosshair at but I only sight it at 50yrds. This 50yrds applies to all my rimfire. Since I do squirrel hunting that is what it needs to be and anything from 50yrds and down is a dead meat. It's a great combo with the Simmons scope. But I used the standard Summons 3-9x32 mag on all my 22's. Can't go wrong if something doesn't break the bank and it works just as great a high end scope.

I’ll have to look at that set up. I’m running the leupold 3-9 because it came with the gun but I really like the lower end vortex stuff for cheap guns. The amazing warranty makes it a no brainer.

I have a Tasco Target/Varmint 6-24 on my CZ 452 Varmint. I like the higher end magnification for ground squirrels and prairie
dogs, the primary use of this gun. The scope works very well on rifles with little recoil. I have used it on .223s as well. It has an adjustable parallax. It has the mil dot reticle. I have higher end scopes on my other rifles but this one has worked well for a few years now on this gun. I get about 1/2 inch 5 shot groups at 100 yards with the CCI Green ammo. I don't know why the picture is oriented sideways. Top is to the left. This was shot on Tuesday at the Apple Valley Gun Club. Last edited by Calif Hunter; 05-28-2021 at 8:27 PM.. |

I have two Savage in 17HMR one has a Center Point 4x16x40 on it the other a Mueller APV 4.5 x 14 x40 both work great.
Shot this with the Center Point.

I have a Browning T-bolt .17hmr and use a Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16X on it. I find for ground squirrels out to 150-175 yards it makes it easy to make head shots on the little pests.
By the way, I have the rig for sale. .
