Millet dms

[deerslayer79]

any of you guys got a millet dms scope,gen2 with the illumination near the windage and elevation adjustment,thinkin about ordering one for a 6.8 and want to know how it handles low light situations,gonna be for deer and night time fox with a light,if it sucks thinking on a bushy elite 3200 3x9 with the firefly reticle

Check out the Weaver Classic extreme 1.5x4.5 same basic price but twice the quality.

DO NOT BUY MILLETT

Here's my story and there are many more out there. Their customer service blows and their service reps are legit tards.

Save your money. Optics are.def something that you get what you pay for. For a value in a 1x4 I would suggest a trijicon accuppoint from liberty optics ...like 650.00.

The OP is asking about a $200 scope, it's unlikely he has the budget for an Accupoint. Not to mention that he may not need the tritium bit that drives up the price so high... batteries are not so terrible.

FWIW, I'd consider the Primary Arms 1-4x:

Also, this is a pretty decent deal (lifetime warranty):

It's not that I think the DMS-1 is bad, it's more that I question spending $200 on a scope that seems comparable to some cheaper options. The head-to-head comps I've read have the PA and DMS-1 being nearly identical except for the reticle.

I have eyeballed the konus m30 1.5x6 version on line seems cool,but reviews are few and far between as well as a falcon menace 1.5x5 both seem good options and yes I am on a budget,like I said this is goin on a 6.8 AR so I am only concerned about shootin out to 300yds at most and the ability to see reticle under a varmint light at night for fox and, deer hunting in low light conditions

 

[Ooops]

I'd get this one. Nice piece o' glass. Awesome reviews. Checked one out at GC.

The Millet is one of the very few true 1X scopes. Mine works fine. I'm sure their CS sucks but YMMV. As a hunting scope for deer, it's good for close in work. Foxes are kind of small for a 4x. Don't expect to see the red dot in daylight unless you are pointing at something really dark. I've had one for two years now.

Weaver Classic Extreme is daylight visible illumination and built like a tank.

I like mine reticle could be brother but it works great on my 7.62 *39 rig

 

[DeadIDik]

Every Millet ive seen have dark glass. Spend more get more.

My DMS-1 broke after ~300 rounds of Beowulf. Returned it and bought something good.

Thanks, I thought you might like it.

I have one on my .50 Beowulf...200 rounds...np so far. The red dot is visible in the daylight...but why would I need it in the daylight? LOL.

Is it cheap...yup. does it work...yup. Is it the best...Nope.

my other scopes are Leupold VX-I's on my BP's and Shotguns. Swarovski AV-1 4-12X50mm on my .300 Wby Mark V Accumark. I tend to match my scopes to the accuracy of the weapon systems. No one has ever had anything bad to say about my Swarovski....of course it cost $1000.00 but the gun is good out to 1000 yards. My Beowulf....200yrds is pushing the max and there are not a lot of 1-4X's out there.
