Hey guys,

Last year bone collector and me got our hands on a couple of muellers for testing purposes. (i posted this in hunting a while back but i probably should have put it here).

The deal was we'd have them for one season and see what we could do with them. I took the 2*7 multishot and sent bone the tac 2.

Mueller posted the draft of the review i sent them to look over :) so it's a little long, as i didnt' get a chance to tighten it up much. but I thought you guys'd be interested so i'm posting the link to the review.

Bottom line - these scopes are a lot more impressive than you'd think for the money. If you're thinking about a new scope, you should definately be looking at the mueller.

Bone Collector had the tac 2 on a 458 lott and still couldn't break it.

These are great scopes. Sorry the review is so long :)
 
Did you guys actually measure it, or does mueller specify? Is it 3", less? more?...

Bone measured it kind of - On the big guns, it's about an 1/8 of an inch less than how close he holds his eye to the scope :) :) :)

I did a quick measure - it's always a pain for me to measure because i shoot with glasses, but i found it to be to mueller's specs for both scopes. bout 3 and a quarter on the multishot, little bit more on the tac 2. Maybe a little over that. I find my leupie vx3 to be more like 4. It's about the same as the 4200's i've looked at - little less than a leupie, fine for me.

I found the eye relief to be very comfortable and it gave me no probs. Some might feel it's light, but dont' tend to 'croud the scope' much.

That tac 2 was the real surprise. I expected a 'very good for the price' performance out of the multishot - but the tac 2 stood toe to toe with the big names and just didn't give me any reason to think of it as 'less expensive'.

In all honesty even if they were the same price i'd buy the mueller over the 4200 any day of the week. And i'd probably seriously consider it over a standard vx-3 even if they were ALMOST the same price, and i'm a big leupie fan. The only thing that's better about a leupie is the eye relief and the service for repairs, and there's JUST not that much between them. Of course - for the price they're ACTUALLY at you could just buy 2 muellers and still come out ahead, and have a spare :)
 
So what's the price on the tac 11 up here? They look pretty impressive. For that matter the little 2-7 slug gun scope that you tryed has some apeal too

You'd have to talk to white falls about the latest pricing, but last i looked it was exactly the same as the american pricing after exchange. Which is impressive considering the hassle brining scopes up these days legally (these guys actually go thru all the paperwork.)

So that'd put it somewhere in the 350 range cdn. For that quality with mil dots no less it's a screamer of a deal.

I think white falls is a member here now - username white falls . (heh.)

He handles all the canadian warrenty work anyway so you might as well buy from him.
 
For those who might be interested in the TAC II pricing for CGN members is $366.00 plus shipping and applicable taxes. For the 2-7x32 the pricing is $206.95 plus shipping and applicable taxes. If you contact me at phil@whitefalls.ca with your particulars I'd be glad to give you a quote
 
I bought a mueller eraticator from phil @ whitefalls.
love the scope and loved the service, thinking about getting another for my varmit rifle:)

hey phil how much are the eraticators going for nowadays?

Just blows me away. They're so much better than the price suggests.

Like i mentioned - we were hanging by the truck after the evening hunt - cloudy and not much moon at all, and just seeing how the 'low light' performance was and bone spots a deer at the side of the road a ways up, and can see its a doe. Past legal shooting, but with that little light he could have taken it. (boy - that's when that little tiny reddot is sweet). And that's out of their 'cheap' scope. Definately better than a vx-1 of similar power.

But that tac 2. That was something else. It's the only scope of theirs made 100 percent in japan, and it just feels like you could beat a grizzlie to death with it and still expect it to hold zero. The multishot is a great scope and for my 30-06 it's just everything i could want, but that tac 2 is a screamer of a deal. The multi shot says 'heartshot at 400'. The tac 2 says 'left ventricle, just aft of the second flea to the right'.
