Reviews & Ratings for Millett 6-25X56mm LRS Long Range Tactical Rifle Scope w/ 1/4 MIL Click Reticle — 68 reviews — Page 1

Have it on my Safety Harbor BMG for several years with out any problems so far. The trick is maintenance, preventative maintenance does it every time. I tare down weapon and optics once a year to the bare bones, clean repair if needed or replace parts, it hasn't failed me yet.

Just purchased my scope and love it so far! Tracks well, and takes the brutal punishment of my Barrett 50 cal very well. My only complaint has been the rings dont hold the best and deffinetely need to be loctited on when mounting scope. My scope did come loose the first range trip out after about 30 rounds. That mistake was on my part I should've known better.

I am using this on a bolt action .338 Lapua Magnum Remington 700 chassis gun. I bore sighted before shooting and within 6 shots I was dialed in at 100yrds. After 34 rounds the scope has held zero. I will update my review when I get to take the gun back out and put match grade ammo through it so that I can perfect the sighting in and give a better evaluation on durability and the capability of holding zero with extended time of use. For the price it is hard to beat this scope. I am very impressed with the glass this scope offers at it price point. Out to 600 yards and it was still a clear sharp image. The scope itself is built out of a one piece tube and with the larger diameter tub and large objects the shooter's field of view is not constricted at high magnifications.
As for Optics planet their customer service is great. My order was delayed originally because I ordered the scope while on the road out of the country for work and a employee of optics planet call me the next day to make sure it was not a fraudulent purchase which I thought spoke a lot about how they treat their customers. As soon as the conversation end my order was shipped that day. I have ordered in the past from OP and have had great customer service in the past as well. Will continue to a lot of business with them.

Ok 1st wow this thing nice. The clairty and the magnification are what I wanted and the price is unbeatable. Looking forward to shooting some distances.

Onething recieved the scope and the battery cap was missing. Talked to the help desk which was no help but did recomend contacting the manufacture which I did and they are sending me the cap at no charge

Thanks

Think they got the info wrong about the reticle at the top of this review. Its either a 1/4 inch or 1/10 mil. Anyway had my scope for a little over 6 yrs and it is one fine scope. Do not like the glass, think it should be a little better for scope in this price range. On the higher powers it is a little cloudy, but only in bright light. As the light level drops the cloudiness mostly goes away, perhaps it is bright light reflecting off of slight imperfections in the glass. Do not like the spongy feel to the turret adjustments. From here on it is all up hill. Those turrets may feel spongy but they track perfectly, and have a very large range of adjustments, it is truly a long range scope. It has always held the adjustments perfect. Mine came with a sun shade and rings, a great value. It is a big scope and looks great on my big rifle. One other thing - the instructions left out a step when zeroing the turrets. After you back out the 4mm allen screw in the top of the turret release the pressure on the turret locking ring before lifting up the turret to readjust it. The locking ring locks the OUTSIDE turret ring so it is impossible to turn with the ring locked down. After unscrewing the allen screw stop, don't put to much pressure on it or you will change your scope adjustment. If you hear it click you went to far.

Scope performed well, have not shot over a hundred yards yet but seems to do real well, after bore sighting only took about 6 shots to zero, glass is very good and clear, went up to 22X and did not have any edge fogging, all adjustments were sharp and distinct clicks, parallax adjustment is very good, the scope rings that came with scope are very solid, maybe just a little high but there is still plenty of adjustment, the places I hunt 600 yards is about the longest shot I will get anyway and I still have plenty of adjustment for that. I fired about 100 rounds after zeroing and they all were on the money. I moved the adjustments and brought them back to set point several times and the point of impact was back at zero every time. Scope was a great buy.That's about all you can ask a scope to do.

I bought this scope a couple of years ago. Has performed very well. Bought a TRS recently for a 308W. Couple of facts on Millett scopes both TRS and LRS are secondary plane reticles, therefore, their Mil Dot reticles are accurate, without scaling, at one power setting. TRS at 10x LRS at 25x, the elevation MOAs TRS 100, LRS 140. These scopes with the 6 screw Millett or Leupold mounts, are good for 2000gs. G loading in your rifle is given by the peak chamber pressure in PSI times the area of the cartridge base in square inches divided by the fully loaded weapon weight in pounds. Check SAAMI for data if you don't know. This scope on a 300WM 5R using Berger 230gr Hybrids will out perform a 338 Lapua. You'll need the ability of the elevation turret to track the number of rotations for higher MIL or MOA settings. This scope will do it precisely.

Won't hold up to a .338 lapua.. I would imagine a 308 or 270 would be a perfect fit for this... The scope is extremely clear at all zooms... Illumination is great love the green also like how the turrets lock

One of the best scopes for the price. VERY low light scope with 35 mm tube. Very accurate and lockable target turrets. Returns to zero every time so far. Heavy but worth it for a long range rifle. This is my second and will order another if I had the rifle for it. Friends shoot it and want the info on where to get one.

Bought this scope for my 300 win mag. Only put one box of ammo down the range so far, holds true, very clear glass. awesome groups.. Love the extended shade. Would recommend for the price. This scope comes with lighted reticle, very nice. I mounted it on a Remington 700. I purchased a rail separately. The 35mm rings worked great. I purchased an extra set just in case but didn't use them. So far all good...
