Anyone familiar with Millett scopes?
Or even more particularly with the Millett DMS low power scope?
I've decided to put a tactical 6.5 Grendel upper on the Charles Daly lower that I recently acquired and am looking for a low power scope. I was looking at some of the Red Dot Scopes but anything with magnification in the Red Dots, that also has some reputation for quality, is in the $500 price range. Seems a bit pricy for what is going to be a glorified plinking rifle. This scope is 1/2 that price and so I wonder if it can be a quality optic?

The Designated Marksman Scope fills the requirements of the law enforcement officer, rifle shooter, and the big game hunter who needs a quick-sighting system at ranges of 5 yards to 500 yards. The "Dot-in-a-Donut" reticle allows for fast, natural aiming. The shooter's eye lines up the circle at close range, and the one MOA dot gives accuracy at the longer ranges. Range estimation is straight forward by use of the circle out to 500 yards. Compact design, 30mm tube, fully coated glass and bright illumination of the reticle are just a few of the many features of the DMS-1. Bright red illumination of the reticle adds to the quickness of the sighting system in day and low-light conditions. At 1 power it works well as a reflex sight and at longer ranges the 4X magnification gives increased accuracy.
DONUT-DOT RETICLE
The Designated Marksman Scope Reticle offers quick sighting under the most demanding conditions of close combat or dangerous game. The "Dot-in-a-Donut" aligns naturally to give accurate shot placement at ranges of 3 meters to 400 meters. Range measurement by use of the known scale of the donut is a simple matter.
DMS-1 is a concept that is long overdue. This compact, fast CQB to mid-range scope takes the best of scope-type optics and red dot reflex sights and puts it all together. A "Dot-in-a-Donut" is the best way to describe the DMS reticle. At close ranges, just put the donut on the target and pull the trigger. At longer ranges, you have the 1MOA dot in the center of the donut to give you superior accuracy. As all the measurements are standard MOA, you can use the reticle for range finding and hold over. True 1X with both eyes open for close and quick sighting, and 4X for accuracy at the longer ranges. Works equally well on tactical weapons or big game rifles. Great for hunting dangerous game, as you have the ability to make that quick shot and hit your target while the pressure is on. Fully multi-coated lenses and rugged one-piece tube are featured. The DMS is also an excellent choice for large, fast moving, dangerous game. Try the DMS and you will see the advantage.
