Has anyone had any experience with a  MUELLER Tactical, Target,or Hunting scopes? I am just wondering if the Scopes are any good. Thanks

I own three Mueller scopes and the verdict is not a quite out yet.  The optics are great.  Clear and as bright as any I own for all practical purposes.  The 3x9 mildot on a Tikka T3 Hunter 26-06 performs flawlessly.  I have an Eradicator on a Savage 22-250 and I am concerned that it move the point of impact upon changing the magnification.  However, I have not spent enough time with the combination to tell.  The impact point shifted when the barrel got hot with Hornady ammo., so that complicated the equation.  They seem to be well built and the elevation and windage changes seem repeatable.  I have talked to the owner of the company a couple of time before and after purchasing and he was very knowledgeable and upfront.  I have a 4x16 that was originally mounted on a 30-378Wby. that I was going to do long range hunting with and got concerned, before the season.  I called him and he said he had one returned off of a 300Wby. and recommended not using it on my rifle.  Now, that was upfront, but thought he did himself a disservice, in that all scope manufacters have defective scopes and he had only one returned in that model, on a high power rifle.  So in essence, I would recommend giving them a try.  Their Tac II  model I would highly recommend, as it is made in Japan, the others are made in China, which I regret.

I have one on a .17 HMR so I can't comment on how durable the scope would be on a larger caliber weapon. The glass is pretty good, it holds center even being bounced around int he gun case.  Overall I think they are a pretty good scope for the money.

I put a 2-7 on my 308 Rem 742 last fall & it sighted in just fine.  Really liked the iluminated dot for dawn/dusk hunting in Michigan's dark woods. It was designed as a shotgun scope so I figure it will stand up to some recoil.  I may switch it to my 338 to test that theory out/ chaz

They are probably the best of the chinese scopes.  Owner is a great guy.  But, I do believe they are overpriced for what they are.

Don't know much about them other than they are a Michigan company. They advertise heavily in the local and state outdoor press which naturally give them good reviews. It's good to hear results from actual users, thanks.

Mueller scopes are decent scope for the money.  Their Tac II is actually a very nice scope and it is made in Japan.  The rest of their scopes are made in China.
