Mueller Eraticator 8.5x25x50 Rifle Scope
8.5x25x50 Eraticator Review Part 1
Mueller Optics was gracious enough to send me their new 8.5x25x50 Eraticator to try out on my Marlin bolt-action 30-06 deer rifle. When I took the old Bushel 4x10x50 scope off my rifle, I instantly realized one major difference between it and the Eradicator. There was a distinct difference in weight. The Bushnel felt light and cheap compared to the Eraticator. The next obvious difference was the huge increase in field ocular lens. The Eraticator has a circle view while the Bushel has a TV screen view.
The next day I eagerly headed to the range wearing my warmest clothes as it was about 20
degrees outside with a slight wind from the north.
As I got ready to take some shots, I was pleasantly surprised how clear the view through
the Eraticator is! The scope and gun had been in the house all night and even with the outside temperatures in the low 20’s the scope never fogged over!!
With the gun resting on sandbags, I removed the turret covers to reveal two large, easily
adjustable windage and elevation mechanisms.
I began to squeeze off some shots and sighted it in at 50 yards after eight shots.
I cranked up the adjustable objective to 100 yards and took three shots with all of them
being on center without making any elevation alterations on the scope.
Desiring to see how the scope performed at 200 yards I clicked the elevation turret up 24
clicks which equaled three inches. The rifle was hitting orange clays that someone had left
on the 200 yard bank after three shots.
After shooting about 50 rounds, the Eraticator never moved from it’s mounted position. I
had wondered if the scope would do well on my somewhat heavy kicking 06’ and it did
not let me down, being rock solid.
The optics are clearer than any scope that I have ever looked through. Period!
I do not see the need to purchase a high priced scope; the moderately priced Eraticator is
perfect for my needs! I look forward to the next time I can get out shooting where I will be checking on the scopes ability to hold zero both on the gun as well as after removing it from the gun and remounting it.
Stay tuned for review Part 2, you won’t be disappointed!!
