RE: 17 hmr scope, need tech help
I think if your BSA sweet 17 looks as good as your leupold you should send it back or have your eyes checked. I have not seen a sweet 17 yet that was remotely close to a leupold in build or optics quality. As a matter of fact the ones I looked at were about on par with a 50 dollar bushnell, maybe.
Just my opinion though.
