Recently purchased a Hawke 17HMR 4-16 X50AO riflescope for my CZ457 bolt action 17HMR, heavy varmint barrel(20.5") in wood stock. I have a Bscar 11mm/25MOA rail mounted to the factory dovetail, and using Leopold "Rifleman" 1" rings(#55870), "High"(about a 1/2" from top of rail to bottom of saddle), with the 50mm objective I have about 1/8-3/16" of clearance under the front, that's without a sunshade(not included). Went to my range, and zeroed in with regular ammo. 25 degrees and slightly overcast, but good sight picture, and I can see the BDC marks clearly. Started at 28yds., then 50yds., then 100yds. to achieve the required zero(the crosshair starts at "100yds.", then proceeds downward 150yds., a dot for 175yds., 200yds., etc.). There is a small dot on the vertical stadia between each yardage down the ladder. Shoot zero with Hornady 17gr. V-Max @2,550fps, which is what the Hawke scope date requires for the BDC to be accurate. After zeroing, I set up a 4"metal gong at 175yds., and with the Hornady 17gr.V-Max, using the "dot" between the 150yd. & 200yd. notes, proceeded to hit on the first shoot, and hit 8 out of 10. It was a little cold and about 4-6" of snow on the ground, so we quit while I was satisfied. I was shooting on a bench with a chair, a bipod mounted on the front & a rear bag. Parallax on adjustable ocular was fairly stiff but very usable(keep in mind it was 25 degrees), and the magnification ring was OK, the covered windage & elevation dials were accurate, but in cold weather, kinda hard to dial, however, once they were set for 100yd zero, you would "cap" them, and leave them alone. When I went from 100yds to 175yds., when I finished, I never noticed that I hadn't readjusted the parallax to 175yds from 100yds., so I would say the glass is good. Speaking of the cold, I have a Wheeler 1" bubble level on the scope tube, and when I would shoot a round, the air bubble would kinda separate into mutiple bubbles, probably due to the cold? Anyhow, I enjoyed using this scope, and would recommend it.

Im a terrible shot, but improving. Didn't want to keep buying scopes as my skill level increased and the price point for this item raised an eyebrow.Visually i can see the tiny 17 round punch paper at 100 yards as it happens. So I'm getting instant feedback, and saw a huge improvement in my consistency two mags after i dialed it in.This item is perfect for me now, and i see it serving me perfectly for a very long time. It will be a long time before i shop around for another scope.It's huge, it's heavy, it looks ridiculous on my tiny 17, but thats a good thing.

I put this on my ruger american 17hmr. I sighted it in with hornady 20 gr xtp ammo in on 10 power. I couldn't shoot pass 300 yds because is only 300 yds. The scope worked like it should. I was shooting pieces of clay pigeons at 225 yards. Now i need one for my 22 mag. Worth the money very happy

This is the perfect optic for my Savage thumbhole stainless 17HMR rifle. This rifle/scope combo is easily shooting sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with Hornady ammo. Vermin don't have a chance! Awesome service from Optics Planet and a great product.

I want to love this scope as much as I love shooting my rpr 17hmr. The etched compensation, illumination options, the quality of the glass and the price. It really offers a lot. However, the illumination stopped functioning the second trip out. Went to remove the battery cover, completely jammed up. Had to take a rag and some pliers to it to get it off. All of my turrets feel super gummed up as well.The rifle was zero'd at an indoor range (~74 degrees, 40% humidity) and then immediately placed into a safe with around the same temperature/humidity levels as the range. After sitting for a couple of weeks, the problems described above immediately started happening. Unfortunately for me, the wait in between shooting pushed me out of the return window.Have yet to contact Hawke to RMA/replace. Also, not a good fit for the Ruger Precision 17hmr. Out of elevation adjustment with a 0 moa rail (what the rifle ships with from the factory) and out of elevation adjustment on the other end of the spectrum with a 30 moa rail (both within one MOA of zero when running out of elevation). Not Hawke's fault, just figured I'd note here.

After some research, I discovered Hawke was mostly an air-gun scope maker, trying to break into the "real gun" market. I was skeptical of this scope, but I gotta say,..I love it. I can't speak to how it tracks, because with this reticle, it doesn't matter. I have mine on a custom marlin 17hmr. The subtensions are dead on for Hornady Vmax 17grain. I've shot out to 400 yards, at varying ranges from 100-150-175-200-etc… and this thing works great.If you go on the Hawke sight, you can get a 4" sunshade and I even got the honeycomb filter for this scope! My 17 looks like a little mini sniper trainer lol!Parallex adjusts well, focus as it should. Seems well made and durable, doesn't have that "cheap" feel. Feels like a soild piece of kit.
