Savage .17HMR
« on: January 10, 2004, 01:42:39 AM »
Just had to jump on the .17 HMR bandwagon.  I ordered the Savage 93R17-FVSS yesterday and now need to focus on what brand & power scocpe to mount on top of her.  I would appreciate any recommendations on a compatable economical scope for 200 yards or less of course.  
I have researched numerous websites and information on Rimfire Scopes but am limited to any Sporting Good dealers in our area here that have a wide variety of scopes to look through.  There is a world of difference reading all about one and actually looking through the glass!  
Your recommendations are appreciated.

I have been using Simmons "ATV" scopes from walmart at about $130.  I have about 4 of them on various rimfires and they work great. They are a 4.5x14x40 AO if I remenber right. Very clear optics and never had one let me down yet. ( Had one on a 25/06 in pinch once and shot about 500rds through it with no problems.)  KN
