Between those two I would take the higher power. I have the same rifle...mine is the laminate grey target model...and I use a 4.5-14x scope on it. With the range of the 17 HMR, I've never found a need for more power, although going up to 16x wouldn't hurt. I put a 5-20x on it one time and took it off as I never dialed it up close to max magnification.
