Agree with the 175yd limit for the 17hmr. You can stretch that out to 200 on a calm day. Limiting factors would be the drift that you get on that 17 grain bullet and the quality of 17hmr ammo. IMO, the ammo is quite inconsistent. If you find a good lot of ammo, buy a bunch.
Punch the numbers into a ballistic calculator to get the drops for this round. I've taped them to my scope.
The 17 gr bullet has a bc of 0.125 and a mv of 2550.
I've got a bushnell 3500 4-12 x 40 on my cz 455. I like how the size of the scope matches the cz 455 and IMO, 12x is plenty.
I've got mine sighted at 100yds. The thick part of the reticle gives me an aiming point at 175yd.
