That is a 60 round scope at best. When I first got my rifle (.308), I bought one of these (6-24) from the sportsmans guide. The only good thing about the whole deal was that SG has a no questions refund option. (If someone really feels the need to try one, I would get it from them. www.sportsmanguide.com)

After about 45 rounds, it would no longer focus or adjust parallex above 12 power. After 52 rounds, 8 power. I got a second one in exchange until I had the money for my IOR. It did exactly the same thing. Different magnification if I remember right, but the same exact behavior.

The only way I would buy one of these would be to ship it to Juba. That would be supporting our troops.

Being that 2 scopes did the same thing it's safe to say they're crap.

I think this scope may have a little more going for it in the price range...

I think I'd still rather have a Bushnell Elite 10X for the money, but if you're really wanting a variable, this could fill the bill in a pinch.

FWIW... I've not tried this scope...

Another review of an affordable scope.

I've looked at the Muellers a couple of times, they get real good reviews on some other forums. The only issue I have, and it is personal preference only, is the 1 inch tube. Granted it has 95 moa, but all my rings are 30mm and I don't need a smaller set of rings. Maybe bigger (SHOT?Click to view attachment), but not smaller.
