Thinking of getting one for .17hmr dose anyone have or had one . If so what you think

[coldweld 65]

Do you need that mag for hmr range ? I would buy an older but better fixed mag 42 scope by any of the good Euro makers ! 6x42 is not as much in fashion But will out perform the scope you are interested in.

If you want that type of scope, go for one of the Hawke sr scopes.

Ian B might be able to sort you out with a deal on one

Scopes and reticles get very personal.

 

This is a very "OK" scope, nothing special, and usually they work, the mag is too high for me, I use 6x out to 200 yards commonly, sometimes further.

 

It's not a scope I would consider on a HMR but we are all different.

They are okay scopes don't find them that clear my mates got one on he's HMR don't like them myself

 

I would go for the 6-24x56 mtc viper much better scope and optics

Many of the smaller objective lens quality scopes give better light transmission than the bigger objective lens cheaper scopes. Don't get too wrapped up in the objective size, there is more to light transmission/clarity than objective size.

bullsnap I've got a millet 6-24x56 for sale target turrets side focus 30mm body mil dot retical if your interested

[coldweld 65]

Decker is correct , All of my scope's apart from the one on my 22rf are 50mm and above . BUT my bino's are swarovski 7x42 and good for seeing at night with just a slither of moon, i can see rabits that are impossible to see with the naked eye.

I have a chinese scope 8x56 S&B copy and is ok for the £100 it cost and i keep it as an emergancy scope. But compaired to a 6x42 S&B or Swarovski its dark and gives a yellow picture. If fact when compaired to them it's crap.
