Default Bullet Compensating Scopes

I was wondering if anybody uses these "Bullet Compensating Scopes," and if they actually work well. I am looking to get a new scope for my .17HMR and I noticed there are a few companies(ie bushnell) with compensating scopes for this Calibre. Does anybody have experince with them. Or would I be better off going with a Leupold VXII 4-12 or 6-18 with a mildot or something.

Thanks

Bullet compensating scopes can work quite well,providing that your load produces the same velocity,and the bullet has the same BC as the one used to calibrate the scope.You must also know the distance to the target,and the most accurate way to know this is with a laser rangefinder.
