Mueller 4.5-14x40ao scope - Mueller Optics 4.5-14x40mm AO APV Rifle Scope

I installed this scope on my Savage 93-.17HMR/TR using Leupold QRW Med.ring set. Resulted in a nice low profile fit with the Mueller 40mm objective lense sitting above the barrel at about 1/4" clearance. I took the package to the club range where it zeroed in nicely using the percise operating 1/4" moa turrets. I capped them and enjoyed a clear view wall to wall noteing good eye relief and accular lense space making my initial acquisition a joy rather than a pain or strain at 100 yrds. I especially liked the heavy line cross-hair reticle pattern leading into the fine line center cross-hair pattern. It provided both quick targeting and the fine line detail I wanted for percise shot placement once getting into the ballpark. The outstanding overal workmanship & mechanics on this scope partnered well with the multi-coated lenses that drew in good light, but it does not end there. This 13-1/2" Mueller is a real looker atop my .17 HMR rifle and that is even more enhanced when adding the 2" extended sun shade, which is an additional cost item. My shooting partners got in line and shot up most of my rounds before I finally got it back. I heard no complaints about the rifle or the scope. They liked it, I liked it, it's all good.
Pros: This would be a quality scope at twice the price. "What's not to like"
Cons: Currently only have one rifle or I would buy another.
