That TruGlo looks like it should bring the target right up to you. That big a lense should make target ascuisition pretty easy.
In doing some on-line searching re: my TruGlo vs Mueller, About all I could find was that they are both made in china. The part # on mine is TG 8360 B. I don't know how to post pics on here, but if both were side by side, and the name decal was switched, I couldn't tell them apart.
Anyway, I'm pleased with this one, and I'm sure you are with yours too.
Thats what counts.
Now if I could just find a fix for the arthritis in my hands, I'd have to find another excuse for misses.

Let me see.... Blind in one and can't see out of the other, works for me :P

Since I have aging eyes I always say not to bad for a guy that can't see his sights......

With my shooting buddies I make everyone shoot with out there glasses then we have an somewhat equal handy cap.. :D

but.. The dot takes some of that away.

Truglo Doing Well

Post by purchawk » Thu Oct 21, 2010 9:34 pm

I picked up a Truglo basic model at Sheel's last spring on a whim and put it on my Mark III in place of a Bushnell Trophy, thinking I'd change back right away. However, the Truglo shoots considerably better for me than the Bushnell, and the dot is rounder and less prone to distortion. I have to beleive it is more accurate also, since I turned in two 99s and a couple of 98s this summer in Bullseye--and my best three high total scores ever, slightly over 550 in 600-point matches. I'd been pining for an Ultradot, but no more

I've tried lots of red dots and scopes over the last 2 years. Besides no-name clones I have shot ATN, TruGlo, Sightmark, Tasco, Simmons, Millet, Pride-Fowler, Burris, and C-More. When it comes to reliability, brightness, ruggedness, and keeping sighted in there is no substitute for a C-More reflex sight. That is the main reason you see them on most competition shooter's guns at the higher levels. Once I gave up on the cheaper ones and forked out the 2 bills for that it has not left my .22 racegun since. As for the tube red dots the one I have that comes closest to the abilities of the C-more is the Burris SpeedDot 135( $299 list). The Tasco Pro Point is close as are the Millet and the Simmons.
Of the cheaper tube and reflex sights I like the TruGlo dual color. I use a tube type dual color TruGlo on my rimfire comp rifle for short range target events. Green is usually a lot brighter in daylight than red I find.
I find most of the cheaper reflex sight will fail eventually, especially in the area of the battery compartment. I can't count how many of these I've had to fixed for myself and others.

I have heard good things about the Mueller. How does it do outside in bright sunlight? Does the glare keep you from picking up the dot easily?

For what little I have shot outdoors it has had more than enough brightness. On my manual settings I only need to go to a 6-7, so there is a reserve. As for glare, I can not comment because I normally shoot in a indoor range.
