Rifle Scopes Millett TRS-1 mil/mil turrets

[dareposte]

Hello,

Does anybody know how many 0.1 mil clicks there are per revolution on the Millett TRS-1 scope with mil turrets?

I've been looking for this information everywhere and can not seem to find it. Anybody have one?

Re: Millett TRS-1 mil/mil turrets

i posted this info when i got mine... not sure why the pics arent working.... anyway, read this...

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: AXEMAN</div><div class="ubbcode-body">ok so i got my mil/moa TRS-1 sent into bushnell for service since my elevation travel didnt meet advertised specs. the big brown truck dropped of a gift today.

its mil/mil marked on the box

and .1 on the turrets.

markings are 0||||0.5||||1||||1.5||||2||||2.5 all the way to 5||||0 so thats 5.5 mil per revolution. i get 24.2 mils from top to bottom of the turrets travel each of the 5 times i did it. its brand new, having just had bushnells techs function test it before shipping it to me. the focus is less stiff than my mil/moa and smooth thru its travel range. the elevation turret rotates with some stiffness, but gets free towards the top of the travel on elevation. after running it up and down its seems to have gotten smoother and mor even thru the range. zoom ring is firm but overly so. positive detent and audible click at 10x. windage has 25.5 mils total travel in/out. too bad that extra little bit isnt in the elevation instead of the windage. both knobs were mechanically centered while the other was checked for travel. reticle is sharp and clear. i will check it when i can get 100y laid out to see if mils are true. image was bright and sharp thru the 4-16 zoom range and focus works like it should. i was looking at some blobs in the trees while testing focus and they turned out to be sparrows, lol. as soon as i get my 20 moa base and new med rings,

i will give it some more going over. ill either like it or it will be up for sale in the optics area and ill be looking once again for a scope. oh and ill get pictures asap. im waiting for a card reader or ill borrow a camera. the knobs are attached with a hex key set screw thru the center, but i still see smaller set screws in the sides?

possibly re-using gen 1 knobs? i think thats how they attached. ill look under as soon as i charge my camera so i can take pics at the same time. finish is great, comes with velvet scope sock, sun shade, lens cloth and adjustment key for knobs. more to come

only two small things made it thru inspection.
crack in the cover

machine mark on the zoom ring

</div></div>

well first i had a rifle and a scope. then the scope wasnt working (mil/moa) so i sent it back, got a mil/mil and then bought a new barrel. now that is almost installed and ill be able to get the rifle to a range and test it out. thats about as far as i got...

Re: Millett TRS-1 mil/mil turrets

Thanks for the offer, I actually had one on the way already when I posted though.

It came in today and seems to be fine.. total elevation is 25.8 mils (~90 moa), I have about 13 mils of up elevation left after zeroing it and that should get me near 1000 yds. I'm not seeing any fuzziness or clouding of the glass at high power as has been reported by other users, even scoping out the street in the dark at 16x the glass seems to be pretty decent. Comparable to my Burris fullfield II but slightly less bright than my Nikon buckmaster.

Sorry to hear yours didn't work out, I know how frustrating it is to have to send brand new equipment back. I sent two scopes back in the same week, a Pentax and a Hawke V2. Both were warranty and fully repaired at the companys cost, but its still a pain.

Fortunately I don't rely on my rifles for anything more than poking holes in paper or occasionally a deer, so it's not a big deal to me to have 1000% reliability. I enjoy setting them up and tinkering almost as much as shooting.
