Re: interm scope
Why not send the Millet in for repair if it's still under warranty saving for better glass in the mean time.

Re: interm scope
Get the super sniper, and don't bother spending the extra dough on the side focus. The only common ailment I've seen with SS's have had to do with the side focus. The rear focus works great, and hell $100 can buy you a box of good ammo these days (or a pound of powder, or 1K primers)........

Re: interm scope
+1 on the 10x SS without side adjust. Really tough scope. The only potential downside is the minimum 10x setting, you said hog so I do not know how fast you have to come on target. Then again fixed 10 vs. 6-24 I bet would be reasonably close FOV wise. From a Tough as nails point of thought, SS all the way.

Re: interm scope
Not to kick dirt at the Super Sniper, but IMHO the Bushnell Elite 3200 10X Mil Dot is at least on par if not better for less money. Out of the two you listed though, I'd go with the LRS-1. You can get it with Mil/Mil adjustments with a ton of internal elevation (140+ MOA). The mil-dotbar reticle seems better suited for long range shooting than a standard mil dot. Should you choose to use it for holdovers, there are more available on the mil-dotbar. IIRC, Bushnell was handling warranty work on the SS Scopes. Bushnell owns Millett now as well, so customer support between the two scopes is likely to be similar.

Get both ya penny pincher........
Upon further review I've kinda changed my thinking a little I just picked up a Falcon Menace 4-14 FFP and LOVE it was 405 to my door bought it from RW Snyder a member here,
That way when you "upgrade" to the high dollar scope your a step ahead with the Mil/Mil FFP mil-dot stuff, and you should get the 5-25 when it comes out and remember your Ol buddy six's advice and out of the kindness of your heart send me the 5-25 when you upgrade.

I pick the SS over the Bushie because of the Bushie's lack of parallax adjustment (I've had a few of each). If you get a SS, it will make a great rimfire trainer scope when you graduate to better glass on your centerfire.
Nothing wrong with the 3200 10XMD, I watched RKSimple shoot a respectable match with one at TPRC09-after his S&B (IIRC) went tits up.
