Anyone tried one of these yet?

Someone on another forum said that it is the same as the Simmons ATV that I treasure on my 223.  It looks VERY similiar but the turrets are different.  Even the focus ring looks identical.

I don't have one, I have 3 ATVs left, did have 4, but the APV was designed pretty much as a clone of the ATV after is was discontinued, but with improvements that were desired by RFC members, I sent an ATV to Rich Schlamp at Mueller who sent it out  for evaluation by optics mfrs and "cloning", the APV is the end result.

Quick, is $129 from Mueller the best deal that there is?

They're $115 shipped from Mizzou Mule, Eabco sells ems for $109 plus shipping.

Sweet.  I saw Eabco with Google search, but wasn't sure of their legitimacy.

Thanks

Both are good to deal with, I've bought a couple Mueller scopes from Eabco, Mizzou Mule is an RFC sponsor, good to deal with from posts there.
