Millet scopes any good?
« on: January 25, 2008, 02:28:22 PM »
Wonder if anyone has had a Millet scope.  I been looking at the tactical.  It has a bunch of features but I don't know anything about Millet.

I have their 4-16x40 scope that I originally bought for a 10/22 for $150.  It is built like a tank.  As a result it is a little heavy, and the glass is good.  Not excellent but good.  In my opinion it is one level above the similarly priced scopes.  I replaced it with a Bushnell Elite 4200 4-16x40 on my 10/22 and put the Millet on my AR Varmint.  Very good match for the AR.  All the Millet products are very good for the money.

FYI, all my other scopes are the Bushnell 4200 and Nikon Monarchs which use the best glass (my opinion just below the German high dollar scopes) and cost 3 times as much so it is not a fair comparison.  But it is a very well built scope with mediocre glass.

I'm very happy with the TRS-1  4-16X50 I put on my Colt6724 ,never expected that much scope for under $300.00. made in china ,but very robust and the glass is bright and clear . able to get 1moa at 200 yards with Black hills red box reloads 75 grain . did a box on it and it comes back to poi 100%.  I like it better than the 10x Super Sniper I had on this rifle B4.
