Anyone have opinions of these? they are owned by Bushnell and They look to be a prertty good scope on the low end. they ARE made in China. But at least they are honest about it.

I have a Buck Gold on my 7mm-08 target rifle 3.5 x 10 x 50,I like it. Don't expect Lupy or Burris quailty but it's clear,clicks are right on the money and it works. I have never had it on a hunting trip just range time. ------------- God,Mother,Country,and Hot Rods. Done with political crap.LOL |

I have one on my 257 WBY, 4x16x56 30mm tube, as you can see, it's not a small walking around scope, I got the fine cross hair, I'm going to get this one, if I can also. http://www.natchezss.com/brand.cfm?contentID=productDetail&brand=MI&prodID=MIBK30733&prodTitle=Millett - http://www.natchezss.com/brand.cfm?contentID=productDetail&a mp;brand=MI&prodID=MIBK30733&prodTitle=Millett Buck Gold 4-16x56 Side Focus 30mm Tube Mil-Dot Reticle
It's not as clear as I would like, for the price "on sale" it's well worth it, it's clearer than the 6-24 bushnell I have though. Be prepared on how large they are though, it's as large and heavy as a nightforce. I haven't shoot it pass 500yds yet, that's as long as I have at the local range, I'll have to see how it does at 1K before final judgement is made. ------------- Want to stop Drunk Drivers, from Killing Sober Drivers?

almost all scopes are built in China now....and IMO they are one of the best bargins out there are the are really under-rated...iow, most people have no idea how good a scope is and think that just because everybody buys a bushenell, zeiss, tasco or whatever that they are better, when actually the Milletts are very good.

I got my Millet scope, looks good but the test is when I get on a rifle. But interesting thing. The box is covered with Bushnell trademarks???
So I started checking, Bushnell has owned Millet for the last two years. I view this as good . I know the founder of Millet died a few years back, and I guess the kids couldn't keep just a sight manufacture going in the complex market. |

Bushnell bought Millet about a year ago, if not two...the rumored reason is because Millet had a Tactical line and Bushnell wanted to increase their..."stuff" in that area and buying a company w/a line in place was easier than R&D. ------------- John 14:6 |

the Millets are made in China. I have the same scope as yours Stinky. Mine also have a lighted reticle, and mil dots. plenty heavy. not a scope for a light sportster. |
