Title: Mueller 8x32x40mm
Post by: AWS on August 30, 2009, 08:11:06 PM

Mueller just released an new Varmint/Target scope, an 8x32x40mm, SF, TT's, 3" sunshade and 30mm tube.

I picked up one during their introductory offer for my 22 LR Benchrest rifle.  It looks like a real winner.  The sidefocus was right on the number and it tracked great.  I was using two different brands of ammo and was able to zero it to each brand  befor shooting after the first sight in.  I shot it at 50 and 100yrd and it was crystal clear all the way to the edges and very bright even at 32x.  I swung it over to the 300yrd range and checked out the targets there and at 32x it was still clear, bright and sharp.  I was able to see all the bullet holes in the targets.  It is a large heavy scope and I can't see where it would ever make it as a hunting scope but off a bench it sure is nice.  I've never had the urge to kill PD's but if I ever did this would make a nice rig.

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.
