Anyone have a Millett LRS 6-25x56 non illuminated

[MrBottleneck]

I was wondering what your take on clarity and glass quality is?
Is there any other brands that seem to have such high regards as this one in similar magnification for the price?

I know you specifically wanted a comment on non illuminated, but I like everything about mine except the crosshairs. It is a bit thick and a ballistic reticle. Clarity and image brightness are very good. It is not a Ziess, but it didn't cost $1100 either

Look up Athlon 8-34x56 reviews.

Don't waste your money unless you're putting it on a 22lr. Had 3 of them & all went south. Black floaters everywhere. Had them on a Rem .308 shooting 1000 yard benchrest. Held up for a while & good glass while it lasted but not recoil friendly. Millet did replace 2 of them but when the third went I just said screw it & bought a fixed 20 SWFA!!!

Is this one you have or did have?
What did or didnt you like about it?
Thanks for the comments fellas.
For about $650 I can get a Vortex Viper and I know they are decent as I have two 4-12x40s already but, it is more $.

i have an illuminated one on a .223 AR 15 have had no issues at all, holds zero well, descent clarity for the price of under $500. my biggest complaint is the reticle, way too thick

I just ordered one from Midway, where they are on sale for $330. The reviews are good. Figured I'd try one on a 223. Moving scopes around is getting to be a pain. The warranty is great, which is most important when trying a new cheap scope. Millet has a bad history for warranty issues. My best rifles have Nightforce scopes. I have some Sightrons and Weavers, Leupolds and Nikons on my other guns. I also have a Vortex, 6-24 I think.
If I were you, I'd save for a Vortex or a Sightron. You'll appreciate it more and they retain value for when you move up. I bet you couldn't give away a Millet on this forum.

I have both an illuminated and non-illuminated Millet scope. They are repeatable with good clarity and brightness. I paid less than $500 each for them and consider it money well spent.

I had one a few years back. Had it for about 3 years and never had a single problem with it. Yes, the crosshairs are a little thick but, it didn't matter since they were just right for coyotes!
