I bought one last month for my new Savage .17 HMR

Im not someone who is going to spend $500+ on a scope. The highest end scope I have is a Vortex Viper 6-24x50 which is on my Rem 700 30-06. Got that for $340 shipped on cyber Monday 2017.

I looked at and through a lot of scopes the day I bought the 17. I picked up a Freedom 4-12x40 and handed it right back to the guy and said "I'll take it".

I'm by no means a scope expert but it's very clear and crisp. Ive only been to the range once so far with that setup. I paid $300 for the scope. If theres a nicer scope for $300 I want to see it.
