I'm thinking with the options on the Leatherwood scopes it would be perfect with my Browning T-Bolt in 17 HMR.

@runeight is that a bull barrel or a light barrel. Its hard to tell with the muzzle break you have on it.

Thank you!

The trick to the Leatherwood scopes is the Auto range, some folks just cant wrap their heads around the concept and the fact it's tied to the zoom, so you cant zoom in and expect to shoot. its a function of how they work! Not for every one, but for those who can use them, there is no better optic with Auto rangeing, and they have three pre sets for different ballistics , or even three different rifles!

Tapered. Brake comes from factory. I said bull but don't think it is.

It's on the table as I was sighting it in on a red truck down the street.

I'm thinking we need to go shooting together next time I am in AZ. I visit a couple times a year to see family.

Another neato shooting tool for scopes is to use a Cold Shot scope base like I have on my TRG-42 I posted, this takes allows the full range of a scoped internal dope to be used, adn if more is needed, the base can extend that to what ever you need

That is why it would be perfect for a 17HMR.

Pretty sure that is the MOAR reticle from Nightforce.









This is the NP-R1 reticle. It is discontinued now.

The NPR was available across the line, but not sure it is still! Most reticles are available by special order across most of the line!

I will toss my 2 cents worth in......

A lot depends on what you want to spend so asking what the best long range scope is can get you a lot of answers. My choice at this moment is the Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27. They are expensive but you get a FFP scope with a Christmas tree style reticle in either MOA or Mil with locking turrets and a cool second rotation indicator. They are heavy but I don't see any reason that a long range gun wouldn't be heavy anyway.

I have always wanted to try that scope? Do you love it or do you LOVE IT? Curious because it is an expensive scope but you can also get a Leupold for that price.
