Just wondering if anyone has had experience with the Mueller optic system ?   I have recently been considering purchasing one to put on my new Bushmaster O.R.C.

Now I know, it is not a Aimpoint or one of the other higher priced optic systems and it is made in China. But, my budget has been stretched and i plan on having this on the carbine for a while.  It does have the auto brightness and the various settings are good.  I like the fact that it can be used qucikly.  

It does seem like a fragile system and as i said, i will upgrade when possible or if possible.

Mueller was on here for a while trying to design a "combat optic"with that horseshoe reticle. I bought one from them for testing. In less than one magazine the retitcle had come loose and rotated so verticle section of the crosshairs was at 2 and 8 instead of 12 and 6.



They are popular on the hunting boards for some reason.



I'm sure like all the cheap stuff I have seen break I will be told mine "was an exception and they are great'




They were very nice about taking it back and refunding my money.

While I have no experience with Mueller Combat Optics, I have a Mueller 4X16 illuminated reticule hunting scope on my TC Encore .308.  It has worked flawlessly for me.  I have had no issues.

I've got one of their Sport Dot 4-16x50 scopes, bought used, and it's decent for the money.  It gets dark with really finicky eye relief at the high zoom, and I rarely use it over 10x.  After a few years of limited use, the objective lens started rattling.  I sent it back to them, and they sent me a new one.  It cost me $23 for shipping, handling, and insurance.

You have to have the original receipt to get warranty support.  Luckily, the guy I bought mine from included it.

I have a Tac II 3-10x44 that has been excellent.  This particular model is made in Japan, not China.  Great scope for the money, right on par with my Leupold VX-II.
