Anyone have experience with this scope for benchrest? Minimum focus is 20 yards. Can the minimum focus be adjusted by removing the front ring? Thanks in advance.

Mueller 40×56 Side Focus Target Dot...?
- Thread starter Flintstone
- Start date
I have two of them and for the money I don’t think they can be beat.
they will focus below the 20 yards but not by much
I use them for 25 and 50 yard bench rest in the back yard.
The image is very bright for a high power cheap scope. But it is not a Sightron.
I think you will be happy with it for the price. MM

Thanks MM. It's got pretty decent reviews in the Benchrest community elsewhere. Looks like it may be a good option. Would like to adjust it to 10 meters if possible though. That's the max I can muster in my condo.

Yes they are a little spongy but I just set it and leave them be until the need adjusted because of temperature or a bump. No clicking with a cheap scope.
I do my clicking on my Sightron Siii at 4 to 5x the cost.
There is an article on AGN in optics section about resetting the minimum parallax on scopes but I have not needed to do it yet on any of my scopes yet. Hope this helps. MM

Spongy turrets make me nervous. I'm inclined to pass on it for that reason alone. Wanted to save some money. Should've known better I suppose. Still, looking forward to your take Squirrel.

Worst case you have a 40x monocular with terrible eyebox that's not even CLEAR.

If anyone can dig deeper there's a Leupold 40x on the classifieds $850 from B who is trusted seller. Now THATS CLEAR.

The Leupold would be wasted by the likes my rather underwhelming skills. Used Weaver or Sightron more likely.

For sure a Knowing scope guy can get a way better scope buying used...I will say some of the better used scopes can still cost a pretty penny;think about this,say your budget is $300 to $400....you can get a pretty good new scope for that....still would be lucky to get a used class B scope for that ,but you can....in more of a hurry,a Bushnell Elite some Sightrons,Nikons ,Vortex and other can be....
The closer the range you are shooting the more you can get by with "cheaper"scopes...and the Big one is the Age of your eyes,older they are the better the scope you need...Give me light...That my friends is the truth...going back too many decades when I thought a funky peep sight was great only to find out my friends with their Marlin .22s with that installed scope......
You know what,the real truth is we try to emulate what we think is going to work...crazy thing is there were shooters years ago that could outshoot....screw it I went back too far......mushy ,spongy,no clicks,fixed power,little tubed cranky sob....too close to home for me...

I'd say at least a Sightron SII fixed power if going the cheaper route. Weaver fixed too would be better choice than the Mueller.

Cyclops did a review on one and it was not good. The Athlon Argos BTR 10-40x56, 15yd focus and 0 stop looks like a better choice.

My friend's Athlon Argos BTR 10x40x56 was compared to my Alpha 6 4.5x27x50 and there was no comparison the Alpha blew it away in clarity and brightness. The Argos seemed to really lose it at its higher range magnification.
