    .17 HMR- Recommendations

    I have a Browning T-bolt that I just outfitted with a Zeiss Conquest 4.5x14x44 MC scope. The thing I like about the Browning, apart from being an overall great gun is it has a 10 round rotary double helix magazine which means lots of shooting and less loading. What I like about the Zeiss...

    Scope Comparison

    Ok I might have to order up some higher rings or instead will throw the scope on my HMR. The CZ rings seem really good and have a fitting groove that non CZ rings probably won't come with. Re: the scope, it's not here yet so I will save myself the embarrassment of listing the online retailer...

    Rings for CZ .223 Kevlar On Mavericks suggestion, I purchased the Sightron SII Big Sky 4.5-14 X 50 and got a deal at just under $300.:D, should be here in a couple of days. I was lucky enough to find CZ medium rings and put them on. They look kind of low, does anyone know if this will be a...

    Browning T-Bolt

    The trigger pull weight is externally adjustable so you should be able to adjust it to your liking. The only bad thing is the trigger guard is plastic which is kind of cheap for an expensive gun. The guy I bought the gun from is an engineer and did up a neat power point presentation (they...

    Browning T-Bolt

    I have a new 17 HMR Browning T-Bolt. The T-Bolt works great, it is super fast and the 10 shot rotary magazine makes shooting even more fun. The fellow I bought it off is a very experienced shooter and included 5 shot groups 1 MOA using Hornady and CCI ammo. He chronographed the Hornady ammo...

    Scope Comparison

    Thanks, I will switch my choice to a Nikon Monarch 4-16 x 50 BDC and the Sightron line. I had another question about a Leopold. What's the difference between the VX-III and the Vari-X III scopes. If you had to choose between a Leupold Vari-X III 4.5 x 14 x 50 Duplex Reticle and a Sightron...

    Scope Comparison

    Forgot to mention, I will use the gun for general plinking/target and varmint hunting in grasslands. Would like to shoot out to 200-400 yards. The gun is new, have not shot a single round yet, looking for a decent scope.

    Scope Comparison

    Maverick Budget is $400-$600 for my CZ Varmint Kevlar (223). I'll check out the sightron bigsky and see where that lands for price. If I can get the leupold for around $400, thought that was ok?

    Scope Comparison

    Hey folks Price being equal, which would be the best glass or is this too close to call. Hunting in low light conditions not a big consideration here. Leupold VX-II 6-18x40 AO fine duplex or; Burris Full Field II 6.5-20x50 Ballistic Mildot

    Scope for .17 HMR

    Thanks I have sent a request to Optics Planet risk management team asking for an explanation. I don't believe there is anything illegal, it may be a question of licensing. However, I am no expert by any means. Scopes are 30% more expensive here, that Sightron was an Ok deal at $400 I...
