Millet LRS
« on: February 16, 2010, 05:28:15 AM »
I am looking at the Millet LRS 6-25x56 for my Savage 12fvss .308. What are your thoughts and comments?

I appreciate your help.

I've heard good things about them from a guy at the range.  A good place for a price check is ebay if you do your homework.  The biggest appeal of that scope is the 120 MOA of adjustment that the scope has.  Do you plan on shooting far enough to use most of that?

No, I do not think that I need the 140 MOA. If one day I am capable to reach out to 800 or 1,000 yds, I will need 30-40 MOA to get there. Which equates to a scope with 80 MOA total adjustment or at least 60 MOA with a 20 MOA base. What makes the scope so appealing to me is the 56mm objective, and the 35 mm tube for $440. It also comes with the rings, sunshade, and caps.

The next closest thing is the Bushnell 4200 6-24x50 with a 30mm tube and a total of 50 MOA adjustments (if I ever wanted to reach out there, I would need a 30 MOA base or a 20MOA base with shimmed rings). This scope though is $550. I know Bushnell owns Millet, and if the quality of the LRS is similar or better than the 4200 series, I do not see why I should buy the Bushnell. Does any body know if the LRS quality is the same as the Bushnell 4200 series?

I also looked at the Vortex line and I really like them. They enough internal MOA adjustments, with a small 10 MOA base, but lack the 35mm tube and the 56mm objective. I can find these for $450-$500.

The Millet has it all in a very affordable price. Does anybody recommend another line or brand of scopes that has at least 60 MOA of internal adjustments, at least a 50mm objective, and a variable power of at least 24x, with GOOD QUALITY??

Teddy12b - what kind of gun did the guy have at the range with the LRS?

I appreciate your replies.
