Vortex Scopes question

[mpriester]

Mueller Optics 4.5 - 14 x 40mm APT

Anyone have any experience with this brand of scope?

Some reviews I saw looked good. I need to stay under 225.00

For something similar if this isn't decent.

Thanks for your help.

Added: After doing more research I found Mueller is made in China. Trade deficit is big enough already.
Now I am looking at the Vortex Diamondback 4-12x40 AO
US Made and full no matter what warranty.

Im considering spending the extra hundred bucks or so for the vortex viper pst1-4x. Most reviews for themis their customer service, warranty, and glass.

Vortex glass is pretty awsome... I have a 3-9x40 Diamondback, but its more of a hunting scope, the Vortex Viper or Viper PST line is worth the extra cash if you can afford it.

If you want budget tactical scope, you should look at Millet scopes, I use one and for the money I think its good stuff (Millet TRS-1)

That said, when the time is right, I will be replaced with some Vortex glass.

Not on your list but I thought I'd chime in. Running the Crossfire 4-16x50 it's held up to .308 and .30-06 recoil just fine. The turrets could be a little more positive but for the money [I think around $200] I can't complain.

The Vortex glass is really nice for the price. And, as mentioned, the customer service is superb - especially the folks in tech support - it's nice to hear enthusiasm for their product.
