What Scope for 17 HMR?

[Musketeer]

I want to upgrade the scope on my Tikka 17 hmr. What would you suggest with a budget of £400?

Thank you in advance.

Stretch to £500 and I'll provide a helpful steer!!

For a little bit more than £400 (but not much) vortex diamondback 6-24x50 ffp

Hawke Sidewinder will do all you need and under your budget at nearly new.

Works great with NV too.

Another vote for Hawke Sidewinder I had one on my 17HMR before going over to NV great scope for the money

Leupold vx 4-12×40, nice and lightweight.

I bought a second hand zeiss duralyt 3-12x50 for my 17hmr. It’s fantastic glass and would be in budged.

I have a Hawke Airmax 3-12x50 and it works perfectly on my HMR. It's a very similar model to the sidewinder mentioned above. You don't want something too big and heavy on the HMR as it defeats the purpose .. however you do want something of a decent quality and magnification to achieve the accuracy and range the HMR is capable of (>200yards) so a mid range optic from a decent brand is worthwhile but a high mag high end scope (24x Swarovski) just isn't necessary.

I just have one of those Hawke hmr specific scopes on mine , they now do an improved version with side parallax and they work great with a pard , think mine cost £150 and think the newer ones about £250
