I have a Marlin 17V with a Swift 6x18x44 Premier and love the gun and scope. I have Simmons 44 mag scopes on my other 3 guns and find them to be a good scope also. Go to www.rimfirecentral.com they have a lot of info on the 17hmr and the scopes mounted on them. But like any place you will find people on both sides of the aisle in regards to what is good and bad.

Have fun with your 17hmr it is a hell of a gun
