Reviews & Ratings for Mueller 8.5-25x 44mm 1 inch AO Tactical Shock Proof Rifle Scope — 33 reviews — Page 1

Turrets are loose inside the scope body and wiggle like the shafts are undersized. Clicks are so mushy that there is free play almost as big as 1 devision (1/8 moa). Glass was clear. Paralex adjustment at 100 yards was not possible until I turned down near 25 yards. Too many issues. I decided not to even use the ammo and returned it. Cosmetics are nice, but this scope didn't even pass my initial setup at the range. To budget for me.

This scope does what I want it to do very well, and that is ARA and ABRA bench rest. Every thing functions as expected, very accurate, very clear, and a great value for the price. Are there better scopes? Probably, but don't think there are any better for the price.

This scope was such a waste of money I’m kicking myself for ever thinking a $180 scope could be good. Can’t seem hold a zero whatsoever, cheaply built, probably Chinese. Going to try to get my money back for this garbage.

I have this scope on a heavy barrel 10-22 that I use for sillouettes out to 150 meters with a 20MOA base, shooting the whole match on 25 power. Slightly fuzzy but usable at max power at 150 meters. A side focus would be easier to use. 1/8 minute clicks seem to be repeatable. This is the ultimate test for a target .22 scope. I hope it holds up in the long run.

The optics are crisp and clear. This scope is going on a .223 AR-15 platform. This platform will consist of a 24 inch target barrel in the completed rifle. I would recommend this scope. A great value for the price. Getting to the range will determine the final result.

I like it,,,,, 2 nd place at a local shoot. Up against t24& t36 weavers... mil dots r great for anything over 125 yards and IMO more power then the new athron ( yet not as clear) with all the credits I walked way paying 132 buck,,,, would buy another in a heart beat

Bought this Mueller to mount on a new CZ 527 Varmint in 204 Ruger caliber. The CZ 527 has a unusual 16mm dovetail for mounting scopes which severally limits your choice of rings. I originally wanted a side focus 30mm version of this scope but every vender I checked was out of 30mm rings that would fit the 16mm dovetail. Finally decided to go with the 1" tube and I am not disappointed the glass is clear and gathers plenty of light. Parallax adjustments on the bell are smooth and finding the sharpest setting is very easy. The reticle is fine enough that even at 300 yards it doesn't interfere with target blocking. The CZ 527's varmint barrel is thinner and lighter than most varmint guns. With a hot load and a heavy bullet the gun jumps more than I expected. That hasn't affected the zero of the scope. The turrets move POA easily in 1/8" increments and are very predictable when adjusting. At 19 oz the scope and gun combined to a manageable 8Lb 8oz very light for a varmint gun and a pleasure to carry. The eye relief is excellent at about 3". I haven't had a chance to shoot beyond 300 yards yet but I believe the Mueller should be very capable out to 500 yards which the suggested maximum range for the 204 Ruger cartridge.

You cannot go wrong with this scope! The Mueller 8.5x25x44 1"tube mill dot scope is in my opinion... the best scope for a an absolutely obscene low price!! I purchased 1 of these and mounted it on a thumb hole savage 93 .17 and it is awesome. I just purchased another for a Remington 700 sps varmint in 22-250 and cannot wait to see how the local coyote gang handles the new addition to the family..lol. If you are looking for superb clarity and a spot on target reticle that does not block out the target.....look no further. Just do yourself a favor and call the guys at optics planet and order a mueller, you can forgive yourself later for not doing it sooner.

One that worked worked excellent; one that did not was really bad..Would not focus and paralex was crazy bad....However, Im going to go with 3 stars and still recommend it as the good one is spot on and everyone else I know that owns on is happy as well...Additionally, Opticsplanet is a joy to work with and provided an RMA return number and free shipping with no problem...Think I just got a fluke..Mueller's are good scopes for the money.

First mounted on a 22 Lr and worked very well for old eyes. Later moved to 300 weatherby mag and failed on first sightin shot. Would not recommend. Was clear up to around 20 power then begins to fuzz out.
