    Lads any recommendations on what scope to put on top of a 17hmr. Money is a factor. All advice appreciated.

    If you're not in a big panic have a look at the sportsmanguncentre website. They have a cracking sale on at the moment. You'll get a lovely bushnell banner 3-12 or even 6-18x50 within your budget. But there's plenty more than that so get online while the offers are still there. Good luck

    In my opinion you should go for the 6-18x50. The hmr is well capable of reaching out to 200 yards on bunnies, so you'll want high magnification to pop them in the head out that far
