Re: Help me decide

I'm not a big fan of either but I would go with the Millet. Have you looked at the Vortex PST or the Bushnell HDRM?

We can get you the Millet or almost another other scopes so if we can be of help feel free to ask.

Re: Help me decide

My H Predators don't track well. Fortunately they have decent glass and the reticle is great for holdovers, "which I prefer". I like them and haven't been able to talk myself into selling. If they were to ever break I'd be out of a scope.

IMO, the Millet's are a dolled up Centerpoint chinese scope. I've read of more failures than I'd want to deal with but on the other hand they at least have a better warranty.

If I were in your shoes I'd be looking at the Vortex PST or Bushnell Tactical. They are a good step up in quality compared to those you've mentioned. If you can live with a fixed power scope, mil/mil, the classic SS series from SWFA will be coming out soon.

 
Re: Help me decide

I had a Millet for a short time and sent it right back for a refund. At the top end of the magnification scale it was like trying to see through a bowl of New England clam chowder. Honestly.
