[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2199606, member: 115658"] Get enough magnification to spot tiny .17 bullet holes at the range you want to shoot at. !0X-12X should be enough for 100 yards. I have a old Weaver 6-20X40 Grand Slam on my .17 HMR. Whatever, the scope should be able to focus down to 50 yards or less. The SWFA SS scopes are a good buy and a 12X42 would be just fine; they focus short at 15-20 yards, about. The tiny little .17 HMR drops about 8 inches at 200, 1/2 high at 100 and zero at 50. Using my .17 HMR a long shot at a 1 pound rodent would be just over 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
