When released in August, Mueller is offering a "direct consumer discount sale" for those who are signed up on their website. I've never owned (but, I've read great reviews) a Mueller scope before, but this might be the perfect scope for my Howa Axiom .223 "dog town" rifle. I have NO affiliation with Mueller... I just wanted to give you guys and gals a head-up on a possible great deal.

How do you like the Axiom stock? I have been thinking about getting one for mine. :)
I have the U/L (Ultra Light composite) stock on mine (ordered from Blackhawk when they were $160... I think that they had them mis-marked because the price shot up right after I got mine). Although the set-up is running about 12 lbs, I really like the configuration of the stock (free-float, adjustable length of pull, etc). I ordered the 24" heavy-barreled action from Jerry's Sports (thru my FFL dealer) for a little over $300.00 plus fee/shipping. I was able to put it together (action and stock) for $525.00 delivered... not including the Swift Premier 4.5-14x44 MD that's mounted on it.

Mueller Optics is releasing a new target/varmint scope next month. Supposedly, it is comparable to the Burris Black Diamond, but at 1/3 of the price. Directly from Mueller...

Awesome. Got my shipping confirmation also. Mine is going on heavy-barrelled Howa .223. Please provide a range report once you've tested it out.
May get a second one for a future 7mm-08, 6.5 Creedmore or .308 bench-rest rifle.
Thanks
