muller or millet scopes
« on: July 20, 2014, 10:39:23 PM »
Has any body used either a muller of millet scopes. I have been wondering about them and dont really want to spend the money on a vortex. So looking for a cheaper scope but still good one, was looking at the vortex pst lr first focal plane scope but they are 900 bucks.

I have never used either but the Mueller's are highly recommended over on Rimfirecentral.com.

I had a Mullet for a while, but my friends were embarrassed to go shooting with me.

There are better options

Mullet, now that's funny right there..

I have a Millett on my long distance 308 shooter. Works fine. I've also seen some pretty expensive long distance rifles with an $89 Osprey scope on it. I actually shot it the first time I ever shot long distance, 1100 yards max and it worked fine too. Glass doesn't have to be expensive to hit what you're looking at.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

I had the millet trs it was a killer scope! Tough, built well and always held a zero only issue was weight!

What are you wanting to mount it onto?

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Got2hunt, still think you should get that Vortex you want. Will Jr. Work a deal with you? Oh, and tell Sam and the kids hi!

Mounting it to a 300 ultra mag. I talked to Jr bit he said that they won't give me what the sg is worth. Not sure but I think my friend might let me use his night force.

I've got a Zeiss Conquest on my 300 RUM. I'd personally spend another $200 and have your way with the 300.

One thing you'll run into (literally) is eye relief on inexpensive scopes on a 300 ultra.  I've used both Millet 4-16 and 6-25 and Mueller 8-32s.  I think the Mueller has better optics, pretty even otherwise.

I think you would be better served by something from a better brand, leupold vx-I, nikon buckmaster, etc. 

I'd also buy used.  Check out lots of forums, samplelist.com, and put up a 'want to buy' ad.

good luck.

The first time I shot long distance, I shot a 308 Armalite. I was gonging steel out to 800+ yards, cool scope on it too. It was a $90 Osprey scope, that was canted to boot.
