I have 17HMR, 22WMR, 22 Long, and for fun we bought a .17 HM2. While the 17HMR will reach quite a ways (200 yards) I agree you will only do it on a still day - and those are few and far between in Kansas. Personally a fixed 4X scope is plenty for off hand varmint shooting and plinking - others will say differently. Sky is the limit (actually your wallet is the limit) if you want to get into target shooting.
My son picks off crows sitting on the power lines with my 17HMR, they pretty much explode into a ball of feathers. At 50-80 yards he has yet to hit the line. Personally I like my Marlin 883SS in 22WMR more than the Savage 17HMR for varmint shooting - but then that was how I was when I bought them - no real side by side comparison to say one is better. I've killed coyotes at 80-90 yards with the 22WMR with one shot - never tried it with the 17HMR.
