Planning on purchase of 17HMR barrell for contender for ground squirrel lasting need advice on scope choice leaning towards a rifle scope . are any more forgiving re: eye relief, how much magnification is usable? will probably use at closer ranges< 150 yards.

I had a Bushnell 2-7x on my G2 17hmr 14 inch barrel. Worked great. Took the Bushnell off and mounted it on my 44mag barrel. I replaced it with a BSA 2-7x. The BSA actually has a better eye relief tolerance, (not as picky,) and the cross hairs are a little better. I haven't tried it at Dawn/Dusk so I don't know how crisp it will be in low light. The BSA was half the money but so far I'm pleased with it. Don't have to worry about the recoil effecting the scope.

I just ordered a bushnell 3200 Handgun Scope from Natchezss...for 179, but the price just went back up...watch their page for great deals...
right now they are selling the Bushnell Trophy 2-6x32 LER Handgun Scope Multi-X Reticle Silver for $110...also a great deal.

I did notice you said you were leaning towards a rifle scope used under 150yds. I use this setup for tree rats. The scope is a Burris 3x9 Timberline with about a 5" eye relief. Great little scope and clear as a bell. I'm also going to put this same scope on a MOA in 22Hornet I have ordered for Turkey hunting.


I also have a 14" 17MACH2 I use a Nikon 4.5X14 side focus on and really like it also.
