[QUOTE="megastink, post: 588155, member: 33429"] IF you're down with fixed power, my Savage .17hmr has a SWFA Super Sniper 6x42. ITs perfect; hits crows out to 200 yards no problem. I've never tried anything past that, but 6x is all you need. I dont think that more magnification is neccessarily better, especially with rimfires. Even if you wanted to S-T-R-E-T-C-H your .17 out to 400 yards target shooting, 6x is more than enough. The scope runs about $300 with a lifetime warranty. It has a mil-dot reticle, but MOA turrets :rolleyes:. A bunch of guys on snipers hide have them for sale (part of a group buy deal linked with the 10x). For some more jing, you could get the very popular 10x42... Consider this: Russian Snipers in WWII used fixed 3.5x and 4x scopes to down enemies up to 1,000 meter away! You really don't need an 18x scope on a rimfire... [/QUOTE]
