Default RED HOT VARMINTER 4-16X44 Rifle Scope

I'm wondering if anyone is using this scope on a 17WSM. Does Scorpion have 17WSM ballistic turrets for it? Is the parallax set or does it have side parallax adjustment? I have a very accurate Ruger 17WSM, thinking of putting one on my rifle for long range gopher shooting this spring.

No on the turret, yes on the parallax adjustment.

Thanks for the info, hopefully Scorpion can build a ballistics turret for the 17WSM.

Buy any decent scope with a turret and mark it to match the trajectory.

Over a bullet specific turret I prefer a drop chart out to however far I’m going to shoot with a moa reticle. The only scopes I have with bullet/ load specific turrets are Leopold V3 with CDS and they are mounted on a 270 win ( wife’s rifle) my 6.5x55 and 270 WSM.
