Scopes long range

[ghostscout]

looking for a good scope with a mildot reticle, without blowing a wad of money. planning to mount it on my savage .308

 

[doubled]

I just bought the Millet LRS-1 Millett Sights - Long Range Scope with .1mil click values. i'll throw up a hand-on review by next weekend but from what i read and what i gathered from people that use it, it's a great value for the cost.

Why mildot? I'm simply curious.

Its what i know. Its what i was trained on. I carried the M24 and the M14EBR for a good part of two tours. Im pretty oblivious to anything else

I wanted .1 mildot click values and the mildot reticle so its fast and easy adjustments without having to do alot of math (if it was in 1/4" or MOA adjustments)

if I have to hold over 1, its 10 clicks. simple....

making the dope chart is easier as well (in my awkward brain)

I have shot the Nightforce 3.5-15 x 50 NXS, really nice. You can get the Mil-Dot reticle if you like, exceptional glass.

If it fits your budget, it will be a hard one to beat.

 

[ghostscout]

ha! That would be nice though. Im looking more for something of the sub 450-500 range.

Yeah, I guess that would be like putting a $50 saddle on a $10 horse.

Ha this is wierd I just bought a Remington 700 sps tactical .308 w/ 1/10 Krieger barrel. I have about 800 to spend cause i gotta save also for some rings so I was wondering the same there Ghost. Alot of guys off snipers hide forum say try a SWFA SS as a good scope. But like previously stated great question Ghost. I too am interested.

Yeah, alot of the guys on snipers hide are real assholes too. Nothing but BS from most all of them. And from what i hear is that the SWFA SS is a great scope too, but I want a mil-dot reticle with the .1mil click adjustments. Much easier this way, and 1/4MOA adjustments dont like to configure in my brain

Sightron SIII 10x42 only problem is it's still 1/4 moa, to get the .1 mrad, it's a hefty extra cost.

Yeah, thats what I'm finding out too. Mil/mil scopes are either around 300 or up to 1000. Me personally, Im only going to be shooting Hajji paper targets, from 200-1000 meters, so I'm kinda leaning towards the 300$ range, its just too much money for me to go out shooting once or twice a month. I would like to go hunting but dont know too many people that hunt or have land. I've only live in Austin for a little over a year, and texas for 5 years (4 of those were at Fort Hood and most of it was in Iraq) so there goes my urge for hunting.
