I'm starting to come around Deputy. For a while now, I've always been a Bushnell Elite kinda guy. For the record, I still think they're the best scope on the market - $ for $.
That being said, I put my first Mueller on my .17 HMR. Picked up the 4X16 Tactical. I'm very pleased with it. Grantid, it doesn't have to stand up to any recoil from the .17, but my guess is that it would handle anything I throw at it. In fact, I have a M77 22-250 that is in need of an optics upgrade. That special they're running on the 4X16 with the sun shade is getting harder and harder to pass up....
