I wasn't sure about the seriousness of your post so I didn't respond. There are too many scopes out there to list. What are your intended ranges & targets. IMHO & for what I use my HMR for I wouldn't go over 12X. Thats just me tho. An AO would probably be nice if your after squirrels or something small like that. Set up on 12X then adjust the objective to 100yds or whatever your distance is & shoot em in the head.

Here's another link with several online sites to buy good optics at for reasonable money.
http://www.varminter.com/forums/index.php?...opic=7363&st=15I understand what you want now. $175 isn't much for a 24X scope. If you check the links I provided you can find something in your $$ range with quite a bit of magnification. I know Cabelas has a 17HMR specific scope. I'll find that thread here & bump it up for you as well.

Did you check the "Which scope for my HMR" thread in the RimFire Forum I brought up?
I understand your situation very well. And I think you're doing quite well. Keep her happy so she'll continue to shoot with you. I think more women should at least shoot paper if nothing else.
