Default RE: millet scopes??

IMO, you are asking for a lot of a $200 scope. I would think you could get one which tracks well and is reasonably durable for this price. You might try a fixed power scope for simplicity's sake in this price range. That said I have shot with scopes from $20 - $700. I only had one completely fall apart in my hand. 2 of them which sold in the $50 - $100 just quit holding zero at all. Frankly, in the sub $100 range, eventually the scope will give out and ruin your day. In the sub-$200 range, the scope may achieve zero eventually, but it will not track well enough to get there quickly and easily. In the $300 plus range, I can generally sight in with less than 5 shots. That is value. Under $200, complete sight in is usually a 20 shot affair. How many times do you have to sight in to afford the better scope.

Regarding Millett scopes specifically, I own the DMS-1. It sights in quick. I do need to test it's tracking though. I suspect it will track ok, but there will be some small issue I believe. I can't say yet.
