My only Complaint is that the wire connection into the extended battery pack seems to pull apart with use. It does not seem to me to be water resistant any longer as the white and black wire are showing where the insulation has pulled out of the battery compartment. The wire connection at the plug adapter to the scope seems better constructed and has stayed intact. That said, you will still want the external battery pack without a doubt.

I have not contacted the manufacturer about this yet but plan to.

I wore myself out researching different brands, calling the manufacturers, agonizing over the choices. Finally I chose the Zeus 3.

The scope is excellent and you will need to spend some time with it as there are some nuances to master. Once you do however, the buttons are intuitive and the color schemes are incredible.

Different times of day and differing day/night temperature differentials will need to be compensated with changing the color scheme and contrast to get an optimal sight picture. This is not difficult to master. You just scroll through the schemes and judge the sight picture, then dial in the contrast. Only takes about an hour to learn once you know you need to do this, and once you do, seconds to complete.

I advise the battery pack. You will wish you ordered it if you do not. It makes the learning curve much smoother.

This is an exceptional long range scope.

I bought this scope for use in load development for two new rifles. Different Powders, Powder Charges, Primers, Bullet Weights, Seating Depths. Basically so I could shoot 300 yards, see the holes in the target, move to the next load, see the .... I prefer 300 yards after a weed out at 100 yards and I used this scope for the entire process on two rifles and calibers. The powder charges were stout since I want the projectiles to carry energy at longer ranges.

The Mueller was just going to be a gimmick scope so I did not have to get up from the shooting bench and take the time to tape over holes several times, and was going to be a load development scope.... if it lasted that long. 150 rounds each of .270Win and then .308Win load development and long range accuracy and it's staying on the .308 permanently! Do I need 32X? No, not usually. I can hunt with 8 or 10x. However, if I want to look out for and avoid spike bucks, now I can!

I have more expensive Brands of scopes on my rifles, but I honestly can not say that I have scopes that are any clearer at 300 yards than this Mueller. That's just because 300 yards is the usual max distance I target shoot. I do have a 600 yard range and will update this when I get a chance to test this with some rounds at double the range.

Are there features that I wish it incorporated?
1.) Locking turret: however, if you re-zero the turret this should not be an issue
2.) IR: yes, for those leg
