    I've thought about buying one, but I don't hear too many people talking about them. I'm wondering if that 24mm lens allows enough light?

    Good luck!

    You could google it for reviews, take it with a medium grain of salt. Optics planet usually has decent reviews.

    I have one and wouldn't buy another. The battery box loosened up over the course of firing maybe 2000 (300 BO) and I didn't catch it. The next time out it left the scope in pieces. At the same time, I was adjusting the elevation and left the cap off for a couple of shots. Brrrang, all the guts jumped out of the turret. I definitely wouldn't recommend one. :sad20:

    I have a Leupold VX-3 1.5-5x20 (30mm tube, German 4, red dot) on a AR. Very bright, good eye relief. Its a really nice optic. I got a good price 5 - 6 years ago; it was still almost twice what they are asking for the Millett. The 24mm lens should not scare you off. I cannot speak for the Millett glass.

    I have one of their 104x DMR scopes.

    They are inexpensive.

    Not great optics. Not great reticle.

    IMO, not worth the low price. I stuck it on my 15-22.

    The scoop on their scopes tends to be, if you get a good one, they are OK. But not many are good ones.
