I have a soft spot for Millett products, having used a lot of their sights and rings and two of their red dot sights.  I have, from time to time, used their customer service for extra screws I lost, etc. and they have always treated me very well, not even charging me.  Their riflescopes; however, remain a question to me.  I have seen some good reviews, but there are so many imports under new names nowdays that it takes a while for me to get a comfort level with new or relatively new brands, and I don't hear much about Millett.  I bought a couple of their less expensive fixed power scopes to mount on rifles used by the nephews and grandkids, but still haven't even tried them out, much less their higher line scopes.  I trust their customer ethics, guess I ought to try one of their better scopes someday.  Sorry, don't know much more, but they have always treated me right.

I am looking at that same scope. If you don;t mind, where did you order it?

100% satisfied with the scope ,it was very clear and bright and never lost POI   when changing powers. (did a BOX for elevation and windage and it came back to POI no problem)this is far more scope than the $275.00 price would lead you to believe . I can highly recommend it to anyone with out  any reservations. the Warne Maxima  rings were a very pleasant surprise also. even though Millet is an American company ,I do feel bad about it being made in China .I prefer to buy American but it is getting harder and harder when you are on a budget. the Colt 6724 got 3/4 MOA with this scope a stock Colt trigger and Black hills Blue box (reloads)75 grain OTM at 100 yards and was 1 Moa at 200 yards. this combo is probably capable of better with a more skilled shooter with younger eyes and a match trigger . I would rate this scope a 10 on the bang for the buck spent .  ;D
