I have heard of the Hi-Lux but, have never seen one in the wild.
Mueller seems to get a lot of grief over communications, it seems. However, both of my recent dealings with them have been professional and prompt. I recently jumped from a Weaver T-24 to their 40x56 and find it to be a great scope if you like tiny hairs and a .125" dot.

 

The Mueller's are OK for the price point, and now that they have wisely decided to make the lifetime warranty no hassle it's even better. However, a few years ago I spent a little more and bought a couple Vortex scopes, also a no hassle lifetime warranty and a better scope than my Mueller's.

Which model Vortex?
Just tried out a Venom 5-25x56mm and was quite impressed with the glass to 200 yards.

 

I have a 8-32 Mueller, currently selling it but only because I spent Waaaaay more on a Leupold.

 

I would go with a Vortex Strike Eagle before either of those two. I would rather have better glass than higher magnification. In that price range, I would even consider trying an Arken or US Optics.

 

Tried Arken but the SH4 won't focus below 25 yards not an issue for some but my club as well as other clubs near me have 22lr steel shoots that start at 15 and 20 yards and go to 200.
I was not the least bit happy when I sent my SH4 Gen2 back for a refund.

 

I have three Crossfire II, one illuminated, and a Strike Eagle 1-6x.

 

Match Pro, <10yds, good optics and amazing mechanics.

 

Agree 100% but no zero stop. I fully understand for some no zero stop is fine, but for me it's a must have, if I am going to be dialing my scope often.
On my Swift no zero stop is not an issue as I might have to adjust once when I shoot my sighers then that's it and I can hold off for wind because I will not use it to shoot beyond 50 yards.
But for the NLR22 shoots I'm going to begin shooting in I can see where a zero stop will be important, at least to me.
Believe me when I say if the Match-Pro had a ZS I'd own one possibly two.

 

I will amend my prior list and add Athlon. As far as model, as high up the food chain as you are comfortable with or find a deal on. If you take a look at a poll of what NRL22/PRS shooters use, Athlon makes a strong showing. I have no experience with them, but I would highly consider at Midas Tac or an Ares BTR if I had to have illumination. Here's a list of competitors rigs from a NRL22 poll and tucked in there with the Razors and NFs are a bunch of Helos and Argos.

NRL22 Equipment Poll

I am starting to question parallax settings. I used to be a as low as I can go, being really happy with the 20m afforded by my K525i, but talking with some folks using Leupold Mark 5HD (50yd), they report not having issues with the 'danger close' targets. Even looking at the NRL22 Nationals that just went down last week, there were Mark 5HD's out there holding their own.

 

Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2 6-24x50 or 8-40 would be better than those listed for about the same money.

 

Of the scopes mentioned, I would go with the Vortex Strike Eagle. The glass is a step up from all the rest and the lifetime warranty is fantastic no questions asked type. I would not worry about the parallax adjustment being limited to 25 yards. At that distance, you can lower the magnification enough that parallax will not be an issue.

Just curious what you are shooting? competitions? if so which? How much do you want to spend?

 

If we are going to step up to the $700 price range, I would go with this great deal on the Sightron SIII 6-24x50 LR

Nice scope, but the reticle is useless for nrl22 or prs style shooting.

 

Arken, Athlon, and/or Sightron, depending on your application. They come in all sizes and prices.

 

If you are willing to buy a Chinese made scope, the Simmons Aetec that Natchez has on closeout is about the best value. Focuses down to 10 yards. Available capped or uncapped and with illumination. Natchez Shooters Supplies

I agree, it's Not bad for a Chinese scope

 

I have the Venom 5-25x56 on my T1X and the Argos 10-40x56 on my B14Rs. Going to give both an all day range session by the weekend and will let you know my thoughts. Already did a little shooting using the venom ad was quite happy with it.

 

I have multiples of both these scopes. I'll be interested to read of your comparison thoughts when your done.

 

Many votes on here for the Bushnell Match Pro, I’d second that. Plus use the Bushnell Ballistics ap and you can shoot out to 250 yards Easily.

it’s only available direct as they had to cutout retailers to get It to $500 for competitors who have to stay under the NRL price restrictions. I owned the Arken and Bushnell at the same time and decided to kept the Bushnell.
