I am wanting to put this Millett 4-16x50 scope on my Rock River AR15.Is there anything I should know about this scope. Any other scopes to try?

First off mine didnt come with rings, second its a 30mmtube so ring options will be at your mercy also the turrets are a bit mushy but I can deal with that it tracks ok other than that its ok for the price I have it on a Remington 700 in 308 holds zero and when I adjust the turrets it goes where I want it to ....I have the milrad turrets with mil dot reticle...also I belive at ten power the reticle is set for ranging and the hash marks are on mil apart not half ...well good luck and if u have other questions ill be happy to answer them

In the price range, this is a good, quality scope. You might look at offers from Primary Arms, but IMHO the Millett is a solid scope with a great performer.

one its a 30 mm tube, so get appropriate rings. Two this scope weights about half what your ar will. Unless this Rodk River is a target version. this is to much scope. It is big, and heavy and bulky. check out the nikon p-223 series scopes.

I have mine on a Remington 700 in 308. At the range I shoot out to 700 yards. I do have a problem with mirages at that range. On an AR15 this scope is over kill.

It is a great scope holds zero on my 308 just fine shot out at a 1100 yrds perfect

Other than the various comments I have already made on his scope, all I can add is I have four of them. One is on a Bushmaster in 5.56 with a twenty inch barrel. I custom load 75 grain Hornady Match bullets and routinely engage marmots (rockchucks) at 600+ yards. After chronographing my speed and developing a bullet drop and wind deflection chart, the scope is dead on with its adjustments. As far as other scopes to try their are a plethora on the market. Just none with all the features for the price point. It is a heavy and long scope and is rght at home with stationary long distance shooting but is not what would be recommended for carrying around in the mountains or for fast acquisition self defense.

It's been a few years since I owned one. Millet ships rings with the scope.I would try them first.

I would agree with Mr.Mcguire,this is a great scope and I would suggest the mount as well.the xr mount that i have has a built in incline so your scope does not run out of elevation for long distance shooting.the downside to this scope and mount is they are a little heavy but i would highly recommend anyway.depending what you are shooting at 600 yds,you may want more than 16X? good luck and you cant go wrong with the above set up.

This scope will mount on any picatinny/weaver rail which means it will mount on any AR15. The scope is good for any distance, it depends on how much magnification of the target you are looking for. This scope has built in BDC adjustments in 100 yd increments on the elevation adjustment from 100 yd to 500 yd. Keep in mind that the 5.56/.223 round is really only effective out to 300 yds for hunting (impact energy) and 600 yds for target shooting. The cartridge is really the limiting factor, the scope is good for the entire range.

Good timing. Just took off everything for Remington recall. Bare scope, 984 g. Sun shade, 116 g. Millett low rings, both, 176 g. Millett rail is bedded and lock tited, it stays. It's aluminum. All up, 1.276 K. or 2.813 lbs. How's that?

I mounted this and a Millet 5 mil. Red dot scope to the top of a ar-15, when finished sighting in the dot was just slightly over the fixed front sight. Hope the info helps.

I just recently purchased this scope and very satisfied with it. It looks great and figured why not go for the better scope. I have installed it on an ar15 5.56 just have to sight it in but I live in ny and it's cold here. Good luck.

I bought one for my AR. Then i returned it, because it a long and bulkey scope. Never mounted it. It was to big for only being a 2-7x32 scope. The eye relief was terrible just looking through it. I went with the bushnell p223. Its only 3x, but it was design for the AR. There more money, but worth it. You can get them at wally world. I dont think i can say there real name on here. I hope this helps.

I can't tell if you are serious or not. I wouldn't use it on a anything but a .223/5.56. The scope is designed for AR use and has bullet drop compensation dials are designed for this caliber in a 55gr. bullet weight. The bullet drop reticles would be very inaccurate. Although other dials can be ordered for additional cost I don't think you'll find anything in this model series for such a huge caliber. If I were spending that much money for ammo I think I would be careful of getting a scope that will work correctly with that caliber. If you don't hit the target the ammo doesn't do much good and you aren't likely to get anywhere near 1000 yard accuracy, assuming you could even see the target with it.

http://www.amazon.com/Leapers-Golden-Integral-Weaver-SCP-RD40RGW/dp/B001BQZSZ4/ref=pd_sim_sg_22. This good for the price or you can go with the scope I am going to buy next for my AR15 bush master.Aim Sports 4X32 Dual III. Scope with Fiber Optic Sight by AIM Sports. I hope this helps,

To be honest, it is a great scope for AR15 rifles but you may want to look at the Bushnell Tactical line of scopes. I know the Bushnell will hold up to continous 308, semi auto impulses.

The model I have is a 184 and on that model that is the only style scope mount that I could use. I have not kept up with all the changes that have been done to the mini 14 but I do know that on newer models they did add scope mounts on the receiver and you can use a simpler mount you might want to check with your local gun store or check out mini 14 scope mounts on y-tube even ask the question there for your model of gun because some of those people can be very helpful even on how to mount this type of mount. I hope this little bit of info helps you so good luck and good shooting.

It's a 4 plex reticle. No mil dot, no hash marks of any kinds. Looks like 4 arrows pointing towards dead center. The glass is flawless, the light absorption is awesome, the turrets are great. Being that Redfield was bought out by Leupold it is made by their standards but not with their price. The Objective Diameter is pretty big. I had to buy Ultra High rings to mount to my AR. I'm pretty pleased with the scope. I would like a mil dot reticle but for the price it's pretty solid. Anything else I can help you with?

Claudia,I just checked and no, not tall enough, not with my big Nikon Buckmaster 4.5x14x44. I have the magpull polymer flip up sights (not sure if gen 2) that I got about 10 months ago. They WILL fit on my Rock River AR that I have a Burris PERP mount and big Vortex Diamondback 3.5x10x50 on because it is taller than the TMS mount. I would get the Burris PERP if you really want the Magpul sights backing up a scope. Those Magpul sights work great with the Vortex SPARC red dot scope; co witness just fine, when I use them on my AR's.

Can't help you my friend. Don't own an AR-15. A solid scope for all the 30 Caliber we own, however.

I have the 3X9 on a Rock river AR 15 with a 20" Bbl. The scope is sighted in at 200 yards and the BDC works very well. I think it is a great scope for the $$$.

btw...my tasco world class3-9x40mm loses clarity with sundown or lower light. I forgot to note this point in earlier comment. it's a damn good build and buy for the money (51.99) but, more demanding purposes will require a much better scope. p.s. this would not be my combat scope on an ar15 either.
