I know what y'all say about volunteers, but...

I'd really appreciate it if somebody here took a Mueller scope through its paces. They're a little unusual since they don't advertise to save costs, and they are a bargain. The rimfire folks I hang with are pretty sold on them. I installed a Mueller APV 4.5–14×40 AO on my 10/22 and it is one heck of a scope. I'd call them "near Leupold" quality for about half the price. IMHO, they're certainly better scopes than some big vendors'.

They have a tactical line and I'd love to have somebody that knows what they're doing take one through the ringer. Besides, Mueller is a sponser at www.rimfirecentral.com. Maybe they'll help out here, too.

I have a Mueller Tactical 4-16 50mm. with a mil-dot reticle. I think its underated.
Had no problems with it. the only thing I don't like is the 1/8 moa adjustments. wish they were 1/4 moa / click

I have the Mueller 4-16x50, and it's fine at lower mags, but the view gets dark and the eye relief gets really tight at high mags.  I rarely use it past 10x.  It's got some chromatic aberration, too, but most inexpensive to midrange scopes have that.

It's a good scope for the money.  You'll get better glass in a bottom-end Leupold or Burris, but not as many features.

It sounds like the newer scopes like the APV have better glass, but I don't have one to compare.

Here's a review and reticle pics I posted over at calguns:

I bought a Mueller 8-25x Eradicator. It is a very good scope for the money. After receiving it I looked at some low end Leupolds and I felt the Mueller was comaprable in clarity.

The only drawback I see with this particular scope is the size, it is huge but  other than that I have been happy with the purchase.

Also, a link on Mueller's sight has BDC turrests for some of the Mueller scopes. They can make the turrets for just about any caliber or if you have click values for a custom load they can do that also.

I have a Mueller 8.5-25x44 Tactical and have been very satisfied with it. I'm not in much of a position to compared it to other scope model lines but the optics are very clear and it has held up quite well so far. It isn't on the small side however.

SWFA tells us that all Mullers are made in China except the Tac II which is made in Japan.  The TAC II is supposed to be their best and pretty good.
