Brown 97D Riflescope... For Those Who Appreciate Fine Rifles.
Brown 97D Riflescope is 4-12x40mm...Story and Review by Eben Brown, © 2007-2008 by EABCOThis new Brown 97D Riflescope has been years in development... starting from my first acquaintance with a Bausch and Lomb Elite 3200 4-12X40mm parallax adjustable that was priced bit too high. I needed an affordable all-around "Rifleman's" scope to compliment our Brown 97D Rifles and Accuracy Barrels. When Swift came out with their Premier 4-12x40mm PA, it was perfect in quality and price. We sold a bunch!As prices climbed on the Swift, we discovered the bargain priced Mueller APV 4.5-14x40mm PA... Not quite the compact 4-12x40 package I preferred but the optics and mechanical repeatability were amazing. The APV has no-frills, however... just great optics, and reliable, repeatable adjustment mechanisms. So about two years ago, we asked Mueller optics to build us an advanced riflescope based on the proven optics and mechanics of the APV. It was to be a more compact version in 4-12X40mm with a Fast Focus eyepiece, and refined low profile Target Knob windage and elevation adjustments... |

| About a year ago, the first
prototype showed up and we began field and target testing it.
Several more prototypes were built: First the 4-12x40mm
magnification had to be perfected. Then the Fast focus eyepiece.
Then the low profile target style windage and elevation knobs.
The second to last prototype was exploding 370 yard prairie dog
pups "at will" in the Spring of 2007. The final prototype made
my longest ever one shot kill through the heart of an Antelope
at 312 yards in October of 2007. Now Shipping! We've sold nearly all of the first production run but don't worry... They're still in stock and we've got hundreds more coming! Thank you all for making the 97D Riflescope a resounding success! |

| We had to settle for left over doe tags when we
didn't get drawn for our Montana Antelope licenses this year
but, no horns is better than no hunting at all! The 312 yard
heart shot I made on my doe illustrates the long range
capabilities of the Brown 97D Riflescope (and the 97D
Rifle). I had ranged the Antelope at just over 300 yards
during my stalk and set the scope for 12X magnification and
300 yard parallax correction. Between that and the Fast
Focus eyepiece I had already dialed in before the hunt, I
had a crystal clear view of the Antelope overlaid with my
crosshairs. I held the horizontal crosshair even with the
top of the back, centered just behind the shoulder and
squeezed the trigger. The 6.5mm BRM bullet went right
through the Antelope, breaking ribs on both sides,
destroying both lungs, and taking off the top half of the
heart. I think it was the best Antelope shot I ever made and
is a credit to the 97D Riflescope, the 97D Rifle, and the
6.5mm BRM cartridge. I used the same gun for deer hunting in the northern Minnesota woods. This time, I set the 97D Riflescope for 4x magnification and the parallax correction for 50 yards (the furthest I could see in the woods). I sat on my stand and threaded a shot through the brush to take a nice young Whitetail Buck through both lungs on the second weekend. Another kind of precision aiming!! If you'd like to read more about "Parallax" and rifle scopes, take a look at our free technical report on choosing a rifle scope. It explains many aspects of riflescopes and you'll see that the more you read, the more the idea of an all around "Rifleman's" scope tends to point to a 4-12x40mm with adjustable parallax (PA). |
