Title: muller or millet scopes
Post by: got2hunt 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.

There are better options

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

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.
