[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 606442, member: 10832"] I bought a CZ 453 in 17 HMR and have really enjoyed it. Very accurate rifle and cartridge. I don't think you will be at all disappointed as long as you learn its limitations. It is very fun to stretch the distance on fragile critters like some of the ground squirrels. You can get in a lot of good practice for LR shooting with a good rifle and a scope that has repeatable turrets or has the reticle you like to use. I have AO scopes on all of my precision airguns and rimfires and I would say they aren't very difficult at all to use in the field. Unless you are a guy that shoots your scope on max power, I am not, then the necessity of spending a bunch of time getting a perfectly clear picture is nearly eliminated. You get very good at adjusting the AO for where you think the shot will be and often times you don't even have to touch it. Also, most of the benefit for AO is allowing you to shoot at those closer ranges, 50 yards and closer, without loosing accuracy. Beyond that distance you can usually set the AO and forget about it and there will be very little parallax issues to worry about. HTH, Scot E. [/QUOTE]
