Dealer says my Savage B Mag in .17 WSM will be in on Tuesday. Has no scope and no sights. Have not yet found any ammo, but that is another topic.
I do have 3 rifles with scopes-- the ones that came with them when purchased. Never have bought a scope separately.
The recent article in American Rifleman about this rifle used a Redfield Revenge 6-18 x 44 mm scope. I have no idea if it is one of the best scopes, just so-so, or?
Price is not really a limitation, but no need to pay for something which produces no benefit for me. My guess is that a scope costing 10 times as much as another might be only 20% better than the cheaper one.
My distance will probably never exceed 250 yards and often will be much closer. Senior citizen by anyone's standards, wear glasses only for reading. My marksmanship, never worth bragging about, has declined in the last few years.
No doubt experience with this rifle is still quite limited among those who frequent this forum.
What scope do you suggest?
