You can't go wrong with a HMR. 115 paces isn't that far out for it, you'll be surprised a few more times before you get used to it I think. Their only downfall is they can't really deal with bigger quarry at range, but that isn't a problem if you're only after bunnies. It's a nice gun you have there, a little unusual but with a very reliable base rifle

i love shooting the .17hmr cant wait for the summer nights to come in. I am on the look out for a good scope for my .17 and was wondering what scope you have fitted and what you think of it.

 

 

thanks

i'm with you on the summer nights thing, esp with the poor weather we have had this winter.

 

Just my views on a scope, i'm sure it won't be a shared one but...

 

i brought a BSA scope for £110, 6-24 x 50. During all the nights of lamping i have never gone higher than 12mag, and thats taking 150yrd shots.

 

during the day i may go to 16mag, but still, at 150yrds 12mag is fine for me.

 

a common saying for scopes is buy the best you can - however i fell that my BSA for £110 is a good, basic scope and i've not noticed any of the ''you get what you pay for'' symptoms (yet)

 

All the best
