Mueller 8-32x44 target dot scope

[Varmint Shooter]

Pros and cons. Would be used for p-dog shooting.
Thanks

I don't own one but, from what I've read, the main issues seem to be repeatability for return to zero and uncertainty of click stops in turrets.

I have some interest in that scope myself. The only Meuller I have is a 4.5-14x. I have used it little, but found the accuracy of the adjustments to be questionable. However, the optical clarity is astoundingly good, not just for a cheap scope, but for any scope! The only thing I can say about the 8-32 is to study the ratings on Midway etc. For an inexpensive high power scope, I like the 10-40 Osprey, but for some reason the supply of new ones has dried up. They are going for a premium used now. You might look for a used 8-32 Burris.

I have 3 older Burris 8-32 Signatures and wouldn't part with any of them.

In my humble opinion, great scope with excellent clarity for the money. I've got two of them, one on my .308 and the other I've used for Rimfire Competition and I shoot only for accuracy and punch paper at the range. Some folks may not be aware, but the adjustment factor or clicks on the Mueller scope are 1/2 that of most other scopes, allowing for more precise or "smaller" adjustment as well as total range of adjustment. And that info comes directly from Mueller scopes who I spoke too when using a standard base and running out of windage and elevation at 25 yds while attempting to zero my new 8 X 32 X 44. That means you must use the appropriate base for not only your rifle, but for the scope as well. For instance, on my Savage Rimfire MKII TR, I ended up having to use a 20 MOA base that allows for the wider range of adjustment using the Mueller scope. Therefore, if you have a mismatch, you can simply run out of windage or elevation adjustment using a Mueller scope as did I. Personally, I've never experienced any of the aforementioned issues some of the other have mentioned with either of my scopes and I purposefully sent one back to Mueller thinking something was wrong, which it wasn't.
Just something to consider, but for the money I doubt Mueller's can be beaten for what you are getting.

Shynloco, I must not be understanding what you are saying. How will a 20MOA rail have any impact at all with the Windage adjustment?

Also as to the click value. Are you saying that these are 1/16th clicks?

Dont worry too much about power..You will find shooting dogs mostly on 15x +-...Windage and range will vary immensely between groups of 3 to 5 shots...You will use Kentucky windage a LOT ... Otherwise you will twist your adjusting knobs off in 2000 rounds...LT
