I've used a Leupold VX-I in 4 to 12 with the long range dot. Two dots under the cross hair. It worked well shooting sage rats. I have 2 17HMRs now, both have 12X Leupolds w/ fine cross hair and dots.
Scope suggestions for a 17HMR "gator gun" John Deere, not the dinosaur kind

If you want compact, light, and FFP, these are great. locking turrets, but no zero stop. Surprisingly low price for the features. I have two, zero issues with em.

I don’t do this stuff BUT I was kind of impressed. Started out with first 20 or so being pretty rough, ~1” was gonna be a disappointment. Not sure if it’ll ever do this again.
Back in the day, VXIII with a varmint reticle was at the top of my optics list. My has my taste changed. This 4.5-14 is still a nice scope but definitely has limitations. Tunnel vision, very little field of view and it got dark real early.
Overall I think I’m gonna like this little rig. The Thunderbeast 22 takedown quieted the bark to a reasonable level. Even with the mountain tactical trigger spring, pull weight is a little heavy for me. Hopefully the accuracy holds up now it has a few rounds on it. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
