I have ordered this scope for a rimfire and am curious to know what experiences others have. I have heard nothing but good reports on it.

i've got a few muellers and have never had a problem with any of them. Including one on a 50. the glass isn't as clear as expensive scopes, but you expect this when you pay a quarter of their price. the tubes are steel and they are heavy, and the eye relief on some is pretty close (like about 2.5"). all in all they are one of the better cheap scopes out there IMO

Thanks Butch. That is the reason I will try my first one on a rimfire. The guys on rimfirecentral all sing their praises so I feel its worth a try, especially at around $115.

Last summer,I bought the same one for my .308 Win. Within 30 rounds, the AO ring fell off (it was hot glued on), and something came loose inside so that it would not focus at any power.

IMO, it wasn't worth paying the shipping to send it back. I didn't want another one that was friggin hot glued together, and fell apart that quickly. I tossed it in the trash.

Basically, toss 4 $50 bills in a pile and burn them...... as you would with a BSA.
