Which scope for .17HM2?

hoytinak · September 26, 2009, 10:02 PM

I've got everything needed for my 10/22 conversion to except a scope. I've got a Green Mountain 19" .17hm2 barrel, heavier changing handle and Hogue stock but am stuck on the scope. There's just so many choices out there. I'm not wanting to spend more than $200 on the scope and will be shooting it from 50-150 yards (which I've been told works great for this round). So.....what are y'alls recommendations?

Any 1.5-6x rimfire scope will work nicely. If you're on a budget, you can pick up Center Point scopes at Wal-Mart for around $35-$60 with rings included. I've had one of their 3-9x32mm scopes on my .17HMR for a while now and I have no complaints.

You can definately spend more money, but for a rimfire, you really don't have to unless you want to.

I've got some good Burris Zee Sig. rings, just needing a scope. I have a Mueller AVP on my .22lr and realy like it...might go with the same of the .17HM2.

For a 17 rimfire or 22 mag you can't beat the Tasco 2.5-10 mil dot. They are cheap but clear, adustable objective and the mil dots work great for hold over. Link to one listed on Midwouth.
