Rifle Scopes Scopes - Recommendations?

[MeanAndUnseen]

Hey everyone, I am looking to acquire a rather inexpensive scope that has all the functions needed for LR shooting.

Can anyone tell me from experience about Millet scopes?
I found: Millett 6-25X56mm LRS-1 Matte Illuminated Multicoated Reticle 1/4 MOA Click Long Range Tactical Riflescope

It's being sold for $455, which aint bad IMO.
Are they worth the money? (My price range between $400-$1000)
I've always been a Weaver fan as well as Nikon...
But I cant find a sun shade for my Nikon, and my Weavers dont have target turrets, and windage adjustments.

Anywho, if anyone can recommend a scope for me and provide some feedback I would be very grateful!

Thanks guy and gals,
Stay Sharp

Just get a Super Sniper and be done with it. Love mine and from everything I've seen you can't go wrong with them.

Good luck,
Merritt

well heres some reviews of the millett lrs http://www.google.com/cse?cx=010955...?cx=010955838166721108978%3Aqcbx5qqy10o&hl=en

theres mixed reviews half the people say its a great scope for the money others say it junk i would personally stay away from it but i have no experience with it you may want to check out the bushnell elite tactical line of scopes (4200 and 6500)

That is very nice 3PER.
Hows the clarity at 300-500 yrds?
Is the crosshair glass etched?

Re: Scopes - Recommendations?

I am in the same boat as the OP. I just picked up a Savage 10FCP-LE in .308 on Monday. I have owned Super Snipers, Bushnell Elite 3200's, Leupold VX-II and III and some others.

I am leaning towards another SS 10x or 16x but the Vortex scopes have me thinking again.

Are the Vortex scopes worth it or not? Millet? Or just screw it and get another SS and some TPS rings and a base from SWFA and be done with it.

Sorry for the stomp.

Damn it ranger, you are going to drive the price up on these things if you don't quit telling everyone about them.

I've had good luck with Weavers.
Superslam and tactical have exposed target turrets:

Not a bad price either! Thanks for showing!
One question though, can I find a sun-shade for it?

I do believe the Bertrilium Crapolium coatings of the CS over-runs negate the need for sunshades altogether...
Not only that, the aramid layers of Crapolium are intermeshed in such a fashion as to effectively become a functional ARD. Pretty impressive stuff, right there...

Re: Scopes - Recommendations?

I have a couple of Millet scopes and haven't had any issues with them. One is on my .243 and my M-4. does the scope come with rings? if so not a bad deal.

Re: Scopes - Recommendations?

You guys are hilarious.

I might stick that counter sniper scope on my BB gun.

Im gonna go ahead and order a US Optics.

This coming from the Sith with a two-sided light saber: one blade wasn't good enough for him.
