17 cal

I just won a savage 93 BTVSS in 17 cal. and I was wondering what would be the best scope to put on it.

    "Best" is a pretty tall order to define and kind of tough to nail down, but plain old Muellers have a very good rep with the rimfire people. I have a few, nice and clear and don't cost too much.

    Many others out there and others will post their likes.

    Hard to offer advice without knowing your intended use. Bench work? Range? Field walking? etc. etc.

    I would like to use for bench at 100 yards. perhaps a little varmint hunting also. I would think under $ 500.00

    My 93 came with a Bushnell 3-9x that seems to work pretty well. I cranked it to 9x for sight in (still can't actually see those little bitty holes at 100 yards) and hunt bunnies, and jack rabbits at 3-4x.

    I put a recent production Bushnell Banner 3x9x40 with euro focus on my 17hmr and it is deadly out to 150yds. 200yds is pushing it but there have been more the a couple small varmints taken with it at that range. I paid less the $100 and for my older eyes the glass is just about as good as my leupolds. I just wouldn't trust one in a heavier recoil situation.

    I've got a Simmons WTC 6.5-20x50 on my 93 in 22 magnum... very nice, adjustable focus, I can see 22 holes at 200 yards with it ...

    I put a Leupold Vari-X III 6.5-20x50 on my 10/22 Target and haven't regretted it for a second. While the .17 is a little more expensive to shoot than my .22, I wouldn't be surprised if that becomes your favorite gun to shoot just because you can shoot it often enough to become quite good with it.

    i put a leoupold rifle scope on mine not to keen on those itty bitty rimfire scopes its like looking through a straw,
    straight 6 power is what i put on it
    shoots real nice 1'' groups at 150 yards, never shot it any further than that

    If your budget for a scope is up to $500.00, then mount a Sightron SII 6.5-20x42 mil-dot on it. You should be able to get into this for under $400.00. It has awesome clearity, and repeatability for the dollars spent. I have one on a Cooper model 38 Montana Varminter, in 17 Remington Fireball. I can tell you where in the head I am going to shoot Abe Lincon on a penny at 100 yards, on a dead calm day, and keep them all on the penny at 200 yards.

    I have a .17HMR and I bought a BSA sweet 17 scope that is made for the .17cal. it is meant to be use with the 17gr. or 20gr. bullet. for what I see its been a good scope for the money.
