What's out there for this caliber as far being purpose built for the .17hmr. I've seen the BSA sweet 17's, are they any count?
I like to measure powder by the cup.

If you enjoy regret and self-loathing, get a BSA.

By "purpose built", do you mean BDC or reticle with drop?

What's your budget?
How far away will the target be?
Do you have a 17 or is this an academic discussion?
Freedom is something you take.
Respect is something you earn.
Equality is something you whine about not being given.

If they sill got them this would be a nice low priced option.

I have a sweet 17 on mine, and for the money..........oh never mind it's still a bsa. I wish I'd have spent the money and bought something else. I may end up with a SS 10x HD on it. I do like the Vortex option though.

Well,,,my question came about because several people around this area are buying CZ 452 .22LR's for competitive shooting. My boss just got one and I really liked it, except I've got enough .22's and would prefer one in .17hmr if I were to buy one.

Yes, I was refering to a bdc for the .17hmr (sweet .17 type setup, just better optics). 200 yard max. Under $500 on the scope.

This is academic at least for now.

Thanks for the input gents.

Bushnell has a 3.5-10x36 thats calibrated for the 17HMR. Has adjustable objective and elevation adjusts out to 175yards.  I have one on my savage HMR but don't even use the BDC.  Wish I would have picked up a 3-9 with better glass instead.

Maybe a Leupold or Vortex 4-12x40?  Just a thought.
