Nikon ProStaff 4-12x40 Black Matte Riflescope (Nikoplex)


Verry nice scope
Wow where to start, Nice verry nice, mounted on a encore 270. and loving it. I looked a long tine for the right scope,, Verry clear-- Nikoplex crosshairs, out of the box at night ( black out ) looking at the nebors house 60 yds out just his interior light on scope was clear- cross hairs were visable-great light retencion. I will buy Nikon again.
Now my selling points, Eye relief is good, at 4 or 12 no readjusting to match scope, length is longer than most - looks sharp, clear, basic- no elavation etc. not needed most shots will not wate for you. I am glad I went with Nikon and will do so again
Extremelly Nice Scope.
I bought this scope to replace a Leupold Vari-X II 3-9. This scope is way better. The lens are extremely clear, zoom moves with ease, zero reset turrets work well and it looks good on my rifle.

My favorite feature is the zero reset turrets. So after you sight in your rifle at 100 yards, you can then pull up on the turrents and change their position without adjusting the scope. After I sighted in I adjusted them both to zero. Now when I go to shoot at 300 yards, I know I have 9 inches of drop, so I adjusted my elevation turret to 3 (3" of adjustment at 100 yards is 9" of adjustment at 300 yards) and I will be shooting dead on. It could not be easier.
new scope
mounted on an AR-15, nikon is the clearest scope I have looked through, I would rather the scope covers be flip up but I can live with it.

Trijicon RMR Sight Adjustable (LED, 3.25 MOA Red Dot)


Great option
I bought this red dot sight to quickly engage targets at close range which is the only real weakness of the Trijicon ACOG. While the RMR could be used as a stand alone sight on a rifle it seems to be at it's best when paired with an ACOG scope either directly mounted on top of it or mounted on a 45 degree offset mount. I've shot the RMR out to 100yds but further distances may become more difficult as the red dot starts to obscure distant targets. The RMR is also versatile as it can be mounted directly to some pistols with no gunsmithing required and other models can be modified to accept the RMR with a qualified gunsmiths assistance. Installation was easy when mounted to the proper mounting bracket which are specific to the ACOG model, picatinny rail adapter, or pistol. I think when used in conjunction with a magnified optic or on a pistol; the RMR is a great sight. If you want to use this as a primary sight on a rifle, I think there are better red dot sight options from Aimpoint and...
Perfect
Just the perfect size for the pistol. I mounted this on a FNX 45 Tactical and couldn't be happier. I highly recommend this for home defense in conjunction with raised suppressor sights (for co-witness) and a laser/light combo. (just in case the battery runs low, or for some reason you can't find the red dot)

This thing is built like a tank. It is never going to break. It can also be used as a ledge to do emergency rack of slide in case your other hand is doing something else. My only concern is that the glass window gets dirty very easily... and in poor backlight conditions that blocks the view and fuzzies out the red dot and even blockes the front sight... so you are SOL in that situation if you don't have a laser mount.

It definitely makes it easier being able to shoot with both eyes wide open, and not having to worry about aligning the front sight with rear sights... I would say the true benefit from this is fast target acquisition while in motion... when you...
Trijicon RMR 3.25 MOA Red dot
Very good quality.
I have other much cheaper Red Dots, but this one is by far the best.
The lifetime warranty is what allowed me to justify using a more expensive Red Dot like the Trijicon.

Mounting was easy with the Glock RMR pistol mount.

The sight/mount has held its zero for more than 1500 rounds on a Glock 19.

Troy Industries Front Folding Tritium M4 Style Battle Sight (Flat Dark Earth)


Great Sight
I purchased the Troy fixed front sight and this fixed rear. Finish is good, I'm not really a fanatic about the looks just wanted a quality set of sights that work. I'm using a YHM lightweight quad specter length that gives me a long sight radius between the sight picture. The rear sight is the A1 style and I'm using them as my primary sights. I don't mount red dots or scopes just shoot a 250m zero and they work fine. Small aperture and large are on the same plain. Sturdy rugged and lightweight. No hassle sighting and I would recommend these over the "plastic flippers" we all know about. Some things need to remain metal and I'm a fan of polymer but as a primary sight system these are hard to beat. Remember to pick up an A1/A2 sight combo tool.
Didn't work for me:(
Just did't work for me. Didn't like sight picture seemed fuzzy. Turn it around backwards and it is much better.
What Can I Say?
Well built, installs easily and simply works.

What more can one say other than it does all of this without fancy (difficult to use or delicate) controls and is very sturdy due to its all metal construction.

Mueller APV AO Rifle Scope, Black, 4.5-14 x 40mm


Great Scope for an incredible price
I have now owned my Mueller scope for over a year now, mounted on a .17 HMR Savage bolt action (heavy bull barrel). All I can say is wow.

This scope is razor sharp, deadly accurate and has get ability to capture light. When shopping for a scope, I was looking at Nikons, Leupolds and similar when I discovered Muellers. After finding out that they are a Michigan company (where I live) and reading lots of reviews, I decided to try it out. Heck, they are touted as a medium quality Leupold with an entry price tag.

Well, that is 100% true and more. I find myself making the argument that these scopes are slightly better than a a mid-range Leupold.

I have since shot off about 2000 .17 rounds and the scope has kept its zero perfectly. The MOA adjustments are solid and easy to use without tools. I used Burris Zee Rings to mount it as Mueller recommended.

What is really nice about the scope too is the ability to adjust your focus from 25, 50,...
Great deal for the price!
Mounted this on my 10/22 and it works very nicely. Easy to adjust cross-hairs without extra tools. Did not come with mounting hardware.
Good clarity, Questionable Dependability
I really wanted to be one of the people that bought this scope, had zero problems, lived happily ever after and rated it 5 stars on Amazon. I am happy, overall, when i consider what it represents at it's price. I have, however, had a couple problems.

The first one i received was mounted on my bolt-action Marlin .22LR. I took it to the range for the first time, sighted it in, proceeded to shoot several tiny little groups, shot the best score i have ever put up on a 50yd. benchrest target, and then i noticed the POI started shifting gradually. I was confused to say the least. Right after i noticed the changes i spotted the culprit. The erector tube was rolling around in the objective bell! Mueller took care of this very quickly and paid for shipping. Thumbs up for their service department.

The replacement scope is optically and mechanically sound but the Adjustable-objective is off. I have to have the lens set at infinity to focus at 200+ yards. Not anywhere close...
