I love this scope. I have it on a Rem 700 Varmit 308 and shoot to 800 yards. Mill dot is the way to go and this is a great one for the money.

For the money this is a nice scope, but... At the max magnification, the clarity isn't so good. At 10x and lower, clarity is much better. The scope hold true... A good scope for the coyote rifle.

The scope won't hold zero, I've even go so far as to have a gunsmith actually mount the scope, and any transport that I do with it is with it firmly locked inside a pelican case. No matter what I do, every time I go to use this scope, it is anywhere from 1 ft to 3 ft off zero in a calm, no wind shooting situation.

I looked around for a while trying to decide what scope to put on my .308 Rem 700 and couldnt see spending 1500+ for a tactical scope. This one does the trick, has all the features I could ask for and a price tha dont break the bank!!!

Millett is now owned by Bushnell. Owners manual that comes with scope does not describe this scope at all. Contacted Bushnell support (very helpful) He sent an email with a 6 page document that described MOA, zeroing the scope and also zeroing the turrets. Beware! adjusting turret involves two tiny jeweler's screws (on each turret) that are very tiny. If you lose one or in my case, one is missing, too bad so sad; Bushnell does not carry them.

By far an excellent scope for the money. It should have been rated 2011 scope of the year under $500. It performs like a $1200 scope. It lives currently on a Rock River Arms Varmint A4 with a 1 in 8 twist. The scope is so accurate with the right rifle,right ammo, and the right scope mount. With this scope i have won 2 long distance matches out to 300 yards. I have grouped 1 inch and 200 yards with this scope. Very nice all around scope.

I had this on a high end air rifle last year and it was under-utilized. Yesterday I moved it to a .223 and WOW! shot it at 100, 200 and 300 yards. This is my varmet set-up for 2012. I could see 22 caliber holes at 200 and 300 yards in a splatter target at 16x. Reticle is perfect to use for hold over aim points for shooting at different ranges. On the same day I helped someone at the range adjust his new Millett (same as mine) scope to get it shooting on paper in about 15 minutes. He was very pleased. This scope is an excellent value. I hope that it lasts forever because I plan to keep it.
