is it good for a 17 hmr?

I do not have a .17 hrm - but I use it on everything but my .12 guage.. from bb [.177?] up to .45 pistols. The triangular end is a depressing-floating point that aligns with the bore axis. The silver/shiney washer hides a strong ceramic magnet which 'snaps' to the end of the barrel. The .12 guage doesn't align precisely. BTW - have used for over 3 months on original batteries and test/realign 3 hand-guns every saturday. Aiming point is crisp & visible during mid-day/early pm at over 50 yards.

It works on my .177 cal pellet gun, but this one has a counter sink at the end of the bore. According to my mic, the bore alignment pin measures .15" up to .51". When I use it on a 20 guage or 12 guage, I have to slide it around a bit to get as close to center bore as possible. In reality, it will work with anything up to 80 cal as long as the barrel is cut perpendicular to bore and you finalize your sighting with live ammo at the range. I like the bore centering but it is not required as long as finalize at the range.

Very unlikely IMHO. For anything above .22 or .17 I would not spend on budget models. Better to go high end.

They make another version of the scope called the Sweet 17. You might want to look into that one.

I have a 17s but haven't used the eotech with it. I would think that it would be fine though. Eotechs are top notch. I would just go to their website and get in contact with someone that knows for sure. I recommend something like a Leupold 1 to 6 or a 3 to 9 power scope for the 17s though, if you can afford the SCAR you can afford to put some quality optics on it. Not saying that the eotech is not quality but you want a longer range scope on a longer range gun. You can smack a target easy at 800 yards with the 17s all day, why decrease the max distance? You could always run a smaller 45 degree red dot like a trijicon rmr for your short distance shooting. I have a 17s but haven't used the eotech with it. I would think that it would be fine though.

Works good for me too. I have used it all day with my 92a1 and it was pretty comfortable throughout the 10 hour use (hiking, riding quad, etc).

They mite fit they mite not..I have a regular .17 hmr I believe yours is a target model...I found a different base for u at midway usa..but it has to be used with a special sight ..I'm not an expert but look around a little more before u make a purchase

A 17" should not be a problem. I use mine with a 18" HP. I like the product for protecting it against scratches as well.

Yes no problem. P have a 3-9X56 that I put on multipul pellet rifled and my 30-06 n the pellet rifles have killed scopes because the forward them backward recoil they make so ur 22 mag or 17 HMR should be right on

It will work great...but I'd recommend the upgrade to the 3-9X40...given the reach of the 17HMR...will probably need medium high mounts in either case

According to vortex's website "Shockproof High recoil rating. Tested with .375 H&H; Magnum for 1000 rounds." So yes it should be just fine. Also vortex's warranty is unconditional. If you break it they will give you a new one. I love mine.

There was no question to answer. 17-40 is smaller and lighter but less range. Buy what YOU need.

Yes I have then on my Gen 4 17 on my hip right now as I type this. I tack drive at the range with then they're great on my 17

I think you'll be ok with it. I have one on an M44 and one on a 91/30. Don't think there's much if any difference between those and a Type 53.

I don't think so. The 17 WSM descended from a 27 caliber nail gun blank. The diameter of the case is significantly larger than the 22 WMR or the 17 HMR (which is a 22 WMR case necked down to 17).

I am not sure, but after thinking about it, I am going to take mine off and use another wood screw on the forgrip. The reason for the change is that if the sling gets in a bind, I am thinking that it could bend the tube. Also, unless you disconnect the tube from the barrel, you can only put the band mount as far down the tube as the barrel connection. My connection is much closer to the stock and I think the rides a little low. Withe the 17hmr being at the end of the barrel, the rifle will be really low.

I have one mounted on my 7mm-08 (used to be on my 17hmr) for 2 years now with 250+ rounds down range and in the field - 200 yard zero and never had to adjust it. love it!!

I don't know about a 17.5, but it works great on my old John Deere R72 with an 8 hp B&S.
