Broke my scope
My Millet DMS-1 lasted about 250 rounds on the M1A before it took a dump. There is play in the magnification adjustment ring, and the reticle jumps all over the place.
So I'm going to contact Millet to see if I can get it fixed, hopefully sell it and move on to something better. Such a shame, I really liked that scope.

I'm going to go with the SWFA Super Sniper 6x fixed power scope. Only 2 ounces more than the DMS-1, and it's pretty much bullet proof.

Use Irons on the AR, I am however going to build a new one. I'll look into the Millet for a scope. Going to be in 5.56 - just because I had a spare barrel for that caliber

SWFA Super Sniper - lifetime warranty. Same with Leupold and most of your better optic manufacturers. There is a danger of buying Rifle Scopes, Camera Lens, or any opticis on ebay. Many of the optic items offered on ebay are counterfeit. When the purchaser receives the item, it will be in an official looking box with official looking instructions and certificates. And on the outside the item will look pretty much identical to the real thing. But the innards are the same as the innards of a $10 knockoff that you can buy at Walmart. This is one item it pays to buy from an authorized dealer, or at least a dealer you know personally.

For an AR-15 there is only the ACOG. It has been combat tested and has sent thousands of rag heads to their rewards. All the Grunts and Marines swear by them. Fuck kommie made junk. Buy American. The life you save may be your own.
