What would be a suitable range for 17hmr without denting the targets?

I am sorry but I do not use that type of bullet. None of friends have shot at this target either so I can not answer the question.

I shoot .22lr 36 grain ammo at mine between 15 and 25 yards out of a Ruger 10/22. It chips the paint, but no noticeable denting. I think a 17hmr will be fine.

I use a pellet rifle and have found it to be the best target that I have and I have a lot of targets. I have it @ 120 to 130 feet and it is very challenging to hit. The best target ever---!!.

It,s a great scope for my .22 rimfire and it would work on a 17hmr, however I personnaly would go with a variable scope like a Nikon 3x9 as the .17 shoots flatter and longer than a .22. My friend has a variable on his .17 and has taken several squirrels at 110 yards off a bipod. Nikon scope are well made with great optics.

In .177 cal it is supersonic with light pellets. if you are looking for something for backyard plinking get a rifle with a velocity of about 700-900 f.p.s.

It depends on the sensitivity setting and size of object moving as you might expect. That said, I am pleased with my purchase and the effective range that I am utilizing is ~60ft given the restricted area where I have them installed today.

Yeah, shouldn't be an issue. The 90db sensitivity should be enough for most purposes.

Yes, I have used a .22 at 50 yards and and you can hear it ping. Fro .22 you might was to purchase the VisiChalk Ferris Wheel Target System, its fun to use, both kids and adults enjoy it, especially new shooters.

Not good those plastic balls an steel bbs will bounce back at you. Should only shoot lead pellets at STEEL TARGETS . Id say no closer then 20 yards. Then wear safety glasses your eyes are very important

I have used it with a 1300 fps .177 caliber air rifle from about 30 ft away. Dented pretty good but nothing got through.

It is decent at 30 to 40ft. Need a bigger IR for longer range. Try the bullet style for that

I would zero at 25 and then tweak at 50. This a good scope for 50 to 100 yards. I also have the P-223 3-9X40 for longer distances. I've read good things about the P-223, but haven't had much time to use them yet.

That depends on what you're going for if you want accuracy go for .25 but you would need to put a tightbore inner barrel and probably a stronger spring but if you want distance go for .20

I have the Nikon ProStaff Rimfire 4x32 mounted on a Marlin 22 magnum. It is a perfect match for the caliber. I use the rifle for plinking, target shooting and small game hunting. I would recommend this scope for the 17 HMR however, if you are going to be varmint hunting (squirrels, crows, starlings, etc...) out to 150 yards, I'd get more magnification. If your shots are 25-75 yards then 4x magnification is fine.

The literature I recieved with my RWS .22 34 Combo says its dangerous for 575 yds. My backyard abuts the highway and has a concrete wall for my backdrop. I knock out small concrete chips from 50 yards with 14.5 grain ammo. Killed 2 starlings from 15 yards, pellet went thru the first and still had enough power to kill the one behind it. I'm VERY cautious about where I aim and would not use it unless i know exactly what is down range.

zero the center cross hair at 200, that should line the rest up for approximate ranges as markedit DOES depend on load and rifle however, will take some time and experience to match to reality

I would not trust it beyond 100 to max 150 yards. Appears that it gets a bit distorted. In my oppion I would keep it less than 100 yards. Mostly for safety reasons.

Not very far, this is a gun optimized for a 10 meter target. It is accurate because it is fairly low power.
