The only difference is the sweet 17 scope has turrets that are ‘calibrated’ for certain grains of ammo. So you spot it in at 100 yards then set the turrets at 100. After that you can (within reason) dial the turrets to what the turrets read 50 yards, 75, 125, or whatever and it should compensate for you. It takes the math out of it.
Long distance guys go all out - they have phone apps, chronos, etc. that give them their ballistics and how to adjust a scope - MOA, MRADs... that 17 with a 17 calibrated scope will get you into that kind of stuff, if you want - or you can just have fun shooting it.
So, there is no difference in a rimfire scope v. Any other scope other than what the turrets read. They make 22 scopes, 17 scopes, 223 scopes, and probably anything else that you want. You’ll see when you look at them that they’re labeled for yards with a certain grain ammo. This assumes that the ammo you’re shooting, shoots at its advertised speed.

I have a 93R17 though with a Weaver optic.

Saving money when you’re in the market for a new rifle scope starts with taking an in-depth look at additional scope features. With so many tempting and seemingly necessary features on high-…

Just got one.
I really wanted the wood stock. But ended up getting this because I love how lite it is. And I’m probably going to do a camo dip or rattle can job on it later. Also picked up a nice scope fo it as well. Can’t wait to take her to the range.
