All in all, this is a great scope for your money. For $500 you are getting similar specs for what you would pay big dollars for more upmarket brands. The high range of magnification and the great range you have for your turrets makes this a great scope for precision shooting up to 1000 metres/yards. The main downside I have is that it has to mount high on the rifle so before you get too excited, make sure you have that squared away. The only other drawback is that the optics are not the best out there, but that is comparing this to optics in the range of $2500 plus. Bottom line: sort your self out a cheek raiser and you are set.

I bought this for an M24-gery project; Rem 700 .308 26" barrel with H-S Precision stock, Wyatt's Outdoor DBM, Harris bipod, etc. The glass is really very good and the features on this scope put it in a category with items costing three or four times as much. Make no mistake, the 35mm tube and 56mm objective are HUGE, and with the included sun shade and flip-ups installed it is measures 22 3/4 inches and nearly 3 inches in diameter. That takes it from the hand grip all the way to the end of the stock, but it definitely looks like it means business even on this big rifle. It's also heavy, but I guess I expected that..... As mentioned in other reviews, the included rings are so high as to look ridiculous even on this very large rifle. They easily put the scope a full inch above the rail, and the objective bell is probably an inch above my varmint profile barrel. I estimate the center of the objective is almost three inches above the bore. I had to raise my adjustable cheek rest up an 1 ...

Fantastic scope for the money. Comparing it to scopes in excess of $1000 you can't go wrong. I strongly reccomend using a one piece mounting base to increase accuracy.

This is an incredible scope. While I know that there are much more expensive optics out there, this is the most that I have ever paid for a scope. Put it on my Remington 700 .308 varmint rifle with 26 inch barrel. The scope is so large that it makes the gun look small. Had it zeroed in in less than 10 rounds. After about 500 rounds now, the zero has been held. Love the external adjustments. Makes small corrections and playing around very easy. Unbelievable eye relief. You get a clear view anywhere between 2 to 9 inches away from the scope. The illuminated crosshairs are a neat extra. On the highest setting, they are very bright but is still not too much. The parallax adjustments are spot on. I will be buying another one of these for another .308 that I have.

For the money, this is a good scope. I first mounted this on my .338 Lapua and the recoil was no problem. Sub moa groups at 600m were no problem. I then put the Millet on my Remington Target Tactical .308 and immediately noticed how high the rings were. I had a 20 moa NF base and the bottom of the objective was an inch off of the barrel. The OD of the 56mm objective was approx. (64.85mm). The rings that came with the scope were approx. (1.58"). I ordered Vortex medium rings (.95") and they solved the problem. Side note--I spoke with Bushnell and soon they will be offering different ring height options with this scope. I have yet to zero the .308 but do not anticipate problems. The scope seems sturdy and well built. There were some machining scraps in the end of the objective when I removed it from the package. The elevation and windage knobs have some slop in them and although there are distinct clicks, there is still a slight bit of play. I do not think it impacts the accuracy, ...
