I would like to find a quality, lightweight, 1”, 4 x 12 x 40mm, matte finish scope with side parallax adjustment for my 17 HMR. Any suggestions? Thanks… |

If I was going to put a scope on a 17 I might get:

I had a BSA sweet 17 on my first 17hmr...sold it within 5 days...its absolutley useless at night or low light ..the only saving grace was the built in BDC for the round.
Ask yourself what your going to use this rifle for? Rabbit and Fox, most are shot at night...where you need half decent optics.
Im using a s/h Hungarian 8x56 S&B which i paid $300 for (Ł225 in the UK)
What im hearing a lot of on here is the S Sniper does well as a good all rounder, but ive never used one so i cant truely give it a thumbs up vote to be honest Edited by RMsniper |

Chris shipped me a 71-3510 Bushnell Banner 17 Super 3.5-10 X 36mm. It's AO will focus down to 10 yards and is bright and clear as a bell from side to side and top to bottom. Looks great on my little Ruger Model 96 .17HMR Level rifle. Pictures on request. BSA makes motorcycles not optics. Listen to the experts ...... Edited by catusbill |

Umm not wishing to apear perdantic, but BSA actually have a tradition of manufacturing rifles longer than anything else. Infact from the 1820's onwards The Sweet 17 is one of the branded import thingies from BSA and if i remember correctly its a Chinese import ....urrrgghhh |
