Optic comparison - Millett 1-6x24mm DMS Designated Marksman Red-Dot Rifle Scope

I’ve been in the firearms industry for a very long time. Hope this review helps. Besides, when bullets start flying all this and that, goes out the door. First, Optics planets pricing/discounts and delivery is fantastic. I purchased the Millett 1-6x24 DMS, Primary Arms 1-6x24 ACSS reticle, and Bushnell AR Optics 1-4x24 Throw Down PCL. Glass quality is a must for me, and it was a great day for comparisons in S. FL. due to clouds changing the ambient light.
The Bushnell wins in the glass category by having true clear colors, while the others have a more yellow tone (very minor) when looking thru them. I tested them on power range 1x to 4x in order to keep them all the same plane. Second place glass is the Primary, and then the Millett. All there have great glass but Bushnell is the winner, but also note that at one power it has the most distortion on the outer edges of the glass. Also feels more like 1.5 not a true 1x like the other two.
All three are mounted on ARs, and due a great job of CQB to medium to long range target acquisition. No red dots for me. Ocular adjustment, lighted reticles, and the ability to hit close and far with these scopes makes them far superior to a red dot. All three do an excellent job of giving you precision aiming at long range. #1 Reticle design goes to Primary arms, #2 Millett and 3rd Bushnell.
Turret click adjustments and returning to zero are great on all three. It is a matter of taste if you like cap or exposed turrets. Millett’s locking turrets is a great answer to this dilemma.
We’ve come a long way with quality, price and warranty when it comes to scopes. We the consumer are the winners since making a buck is harder these days, and these are affordable optics, so you can’t go wrong with any of these three. If I had to pick one…Primary Arms.
