I also picked one up for their introductory price. Haven't mounted it yet on my Howa .223 heavy barrel (ordering 30mm Warne rings next week) project gun, but I have to agree with you that this scope looks to be a real winner. The glass is amazing clear for a $200 scope and it seems to be rugged/well built. With Mueller's great customer service and a Lifetime Warranty, this scope/rifle combo should be an awesome bench/critter rig.
