Scope for Handi?

[knight0334]

What varmint scopes do you guys use?

My uncle just pointed out Mueller Optics today when we were playing email tag.  He said for budget oriented people, these are pretty good.  He typical uses Leupold and other $500+ units, but said he give the Mueller's a thumbs up.

The one in specific he mentioned was $150   8.5-25x44 Tactical with Mil-Dot cross hairs.

What do you guys think?  This will be for a .224 caliber groundhog vaporizor.

The only other scope I have is a Leupold that I've had for years..  and it's on another Handi.

Try a Bushnell Banner 6-18x50 great scope for varmit rifles, and just over $100

The tactical 8.5-25x44 has the same internals as the the Eraticator and 4-16x50 Tactical, but has ¼mou clicks instead of 1/8, a 44mm objective and no illumination.

I have some spendy scopes, but latly I have bought a mueller 4x16 Illum tactical for my handi .223 which realley works great and I am going to buy another one. I also have 6 x18  bushnell banner for another .223 I picked up.I have to say the bushnell banner works great to.  If you want to save some money the banner may serve as a good option. If you want to spend more get the Mueller. I like both, but I like the Mueller better.

Good Luck
