Re: Scoping options for Savage MK II TR?

1 - NO BS assessment of the Mueller APT. How does it track, repeatable, etc.?
2 - On the rifle, just a FYI, Savage lists it as $469, so definitely available in the upper 3's/low 4's at your favorite dealer.

I had a APT that I just returned to midway. I ran quite a few box tests and the scope didn't have any issues. I ran 5 shot groups at each corner of the box at 25 and 50 yards. I returned the scope because I could not get the elevation knob off to reset the turret to 0 after zeroing the rifle. I didn't want to pry it off with any tools; however, it pulled like all hell on the thing and couldn't get it off for the life of me. The windage turret came off without any issues. I'm not a huge fan of the way the turrets were designed (I like the ones that have set screws that you remove and twist the turret to zero the turret). That being said, I still think it's an great scope for the price. I had no problems getting it to focus at 10-15 yards. I'll probably try out another in the future, but I opted to get a Konus M30 for the 22 that the APT was on (I have yet to get to the range with the M30). I have a 22 mag that needs a scope upgrade (the scope and rifle are like 30 years old). I'm thinking I will try another APT on that one when I decide it's time to budget for that rifle.
