my younger brother has just purchased a 17 HMR. He is using remingtons 17 gr. v-max boat tail loads. who out there can suggest what would be a good workable sight in for this combo. What thoughts on having it zeroed at 100 yards.

Varmint Al has drop charts on his web site, 100yds works for me...

looked at that web page, found what I needed to know. thanks for the help. 100 yards seems the reasonable choice
