[QUOTE="bowhunthard88, post: 561093, member: 12575"] Of all the scopes out there, I would probably have to list the Sightron SIII @ the top of the list, for price compared to what you actually get. I bought one from Tikka Lover a while ago, and I have put it through its paces, and I LOVE it! So Sightron SIII at the top; then you could check out Weaver Optics, they also are really nice for the money (I have a few of those also, in different power ranges). Another I hear about frequently, not on here though (and I don't have any personal experience with them yet), is the Nikko Stirling brand line of scopes. I just bought a Nikko in 3-10x42mm for my new "short range" .308 Win. I haven't mounted it yet as I'm in the process of painting the gun... Glass seems ok; the eye relief seems a little close (we'll see when I mount it on the rifle), but eye relief isn't as big of an issue just from the bench. I'm sorry, I had a Millett. My buddy kept telling me how good it was, so I bought one. It was fair, so I ended up selling it, and that's when I bought the Sightron SIII! You get what you pay for when you buy Millett in my opinion (they are a decent scope, not AWESOME, for the money). My buddy has since purchased a Weaver tactical scope, and doesn't mention Millett anymore lol, I think he's kinda embarrassed to compare them... An individual scope from a company may be awesome, but you need to look at a company that produces these regularly lol, otherwise the guy before may have purchased that "1 in a million scope" and you just have the regular "run of the mill" one. From these posts, Sightron keeps popping up... Say what you will lol, my LR rigs all have good scopes on them, but I just had to try the Nikko... Worst case, I blew $200...:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
