Mueller Optics (APV) All Purpose Hunting Rifle Scope, Short and Long Range Variability

Upon arrival of this optic, first impressions looked positive. Clarity was impressive for the price, nice audible clicks for the adjustments, finish is very nice and parallax was not a problem. I mounted and shot exactly 20 rounds. 1 box of .308. It was dead on and sighted in in less than 20. ( The rest was just for plinking ). I placed it in the gun safe and haven't taken it out since the last week. Once I brought it out to shoot again, I heard a rattling in my rifle, before I ever shot it. Further inspection showed it was the optic itself. The forward lens of the optic, inside the bell, was rattling. The lens itself is not seated at all and is loose, wiggling around inside. No way I can take this rifle hunting or use this optic in good conscience, with this knowledge knowing it would be completely inaccurate. I am attempting to contact Mueller's customer service, which is no easy task in itself. Upon contact I will update the review in regards to the customer service experience. *******UPDATE****** 5 stars for Amazon 1 star for Mueller Mueller customer service was FAR less impressive than I expected. I eventually had to contact Amazon to ask if they would be able to provide contact information for Mueller. I finally contacted Mueller and advised them of the issue I was having. When they picked up the phone, it sounded like a secretary. I asked for customer service. She said" well I do that sometimes, what do you need". I told her the issue. I was told to send it back at the cost of $12.50 and include another $12.50 to send it back to me. I was then told to look the scope over very well before shipping it back, due to the fact she didn't want me to waste my money. I asked her what she meant. I was told if there were any external marks on the scope, even from mounting, the warrant would be voided, I would get the defective scope sent back to me with no replacement or refund. Its easy to offer a lifetime warranty, when there are such conditions attached. Thankfully, Amazon comes through again. I notified them of the outcome from the contact with Mueller, at Amazons request. When I emailed Amazon and asked for the Muellers contact information initially, they told me to keep them updated on how Mueller handled this transaction. Amazon offered a replacement or refund on their behalf. Amazon customer service is top notch and cannot be beat. Mueller on the other hand, customer service is terrible, they are based in the United States yes, but the scope itself even states "Made in China". Poor service and Poor product! Thanks again Amazon!

Bought this for my Savage Mark II FV-SR .22 rifle. It is the perfect scope for target shooting up to about 200 yards. At 100 yards you can see .22 caliber holes in paper so you don't need a spotting scope to go along with it. The optics are really surprisingly clear and brightness is definitely better than adequate at 14x zoom. Clicks are solid and it holds zero. Crosshairs are nice and clean and the middle of the crosshairs gets nice and thin making precision easy. I'd say at 100 yards and full zoom the cross itself covers less than a quarter inch circle. My rifle is a 1MOA gun and I feel this scope was up to the task to take advantage of my rifle's ability. Only note is this isn't a tactical setup. For that you want the APT with exposed turrets and mildot crosshairs. I have subsequently ordered the APT and might return this only because I could use the more tactical setup for my purposes. This scope (the APV) totally lives up to the hype it gets as a giant killer in that it offers stellar performance in the low $100 price range. Anyone giving it 3 stars and saying 'okay for the money' clearly just needed more scope than this for their application, in which case they had no business buying this. Know what you need for your application and if this fits the bill you will be pleased.

Okay scope for the money. The eye relief has a very fine adjustment position. The eye relief gets a little fuzzy around the edges at higher magnification.

Very good scope for rifle. I use this on a Ruger 10/22 (overkill) and it works amazing. Easy to adjust with a huge adjustment range. I would recommend this product!

I barely used the scope. It's probably been used a handful of times. Never been dropped, etc. The scope has developed a rattling noise near the parallax adjustment. Obviously, I have lost all confidence in the scope and it will be junked. Mueller has a limited lifetime warranty, but, due to Covid-19, the company is currently shut down. I'm also not willing to spend money to find out whether they will honor the warranty. It's a shame, because the scope really has nice clarity and is reasonably priced. I just expected the scope to be much more durable.

Great scope have 2 of them now eye relief is good great clarification

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I bought this scope. The specs and reviews were good but it is definitely not a high end scope. I am very happy with it. The quality of construction is very good. It seems where they cut costs (at this price costs have to be cut) is in the finish. The edges and the overall finish is not as smooth as the higher end scopes. It's still very nice, but definitely not at the same level. But the performance seems to be top shelf. I didn't have the budget for a higher end scope so I was looking for this exact level of build. I am very happy with the scope and it is an excellent value for the money.

I was purchashing a swift scope but at the time silver was not in stock. Reading the reviews on rimfire central this scope gets rave reviews and constant approval. So I took a shot. I find the one I received works great and the AO works and is spot on. The clicks are positive and move the correct distance. I was surprised at the clarity of the glass for the money. I installed this on a 10/22 I have built using Kidd parts and find the color matches. However the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the finish. It looks spotty or grainy not quite sure how to describe it. Not terribly bad but not great as this maybe where they cut the most cost. Iam fine with it as is and more than happy with the purchase. If looking for a great scope that want break the bank with fast shipping and good packaging this my be your best bet. I can't comment on high recoil guns but the 22lr is a great match for this scope.

Bought this for my 10/22 build. It is one awesome scope. Great glass, solidly built and I find the turret adjustments to be perfect. You feel and hear the clicks. This is my second Mueller, also have the 8x32 on a K31. Planning on purchasing another one of these for my Savage BSEV. I will have three Muellers, why don't you have at least one??

Fantastic scope for the money. Clear and accurate. Put it on a .22 LR and it has outperformed my friends' more expensive scopes.

For the money, good scope. Only dowside eye relief at higher power is tough to maintain

Great Scope. Everything about this scope is to notch. The adjustable objective is a great feature and it works perfectly. The image quality is excellent, the glass is excellent, the magnification is excellent. I haven't tracked this scope yet but sighting it in was easy and the adjustments are very large and positive so there's no digging out a dime to turn a crappy slotted screw head. My only criticism is the eye relief is very specific which makes fast target acquisition kind of tricky. I cant say much about durability and recoil because I have only had the scope for a couple of months and I have it on a .22 but my rifle makes nice small 5 round holes in paper at 100 yrds!!!! Exactly what I bought this scope for!!!

magnification and clarity good, could not seem to obtain and maintain eye relief
