I am currently stuck between the Millett 1-4x24 DMS and the Falcon 1.5-5x30IR. They are roughly the same price, and the Falcon appears to be slightly better, but at this point I am curious as to which company is overall the better make?

Thoughts?
 
I can't comment on the Millet but I quite like my Falcon 1.5-5. The only issue I have is that it's a bit short on eye relief, though that's not an issue if it's going on a .223 or 7.62x39 gun. On my M14 it wasn't enough.
 
I've returned 2x of the Falcons after both failed, mounted on a .308 mind you. Not saying it's a bad optic, but I had bad luck with it.
 
The FM has better adjustments, with finger knobs and vernier scale; Millet is pretty much like a hunting scope.
I quite liked mine, until it failed.
Apparently there is a replacement warranty, but this is meaningless if there is no inventory from which a broken one can be replaced. Sent mine away nine months ago & nothing since.
 
I own a millett LRS-1 6-25x56. Absolutely gorgeous scope! I was in the market for falcon or millett, got the millet as the company I was buying through had no falcons in stock. All I can say is that you won't be disappointed with a millett!
 
I was VERY impressed with a Mueller Sport Dot, but I didn't have a chance to shoot with it; just fondle. Extremely simple reticle but it flat-out worked.
Combined with decent turrets and a cover mounted dop-chat it should make hits at 600m totally possible. Then again I've never been a fan of BDC reticles, I figure if you've got time to count dots you could just as easily dial it in and aim directly.

Personally I'd pass on the DMS. Shot a few rounds with one at the range. Clicks were poor at best, not terribly repeatable either.

Of course a RazorHD, SWFA or Sightron 1-7 would be pretty tight if the budget allows.

I agree that sometimes millet gets bad rep. But I disagree that you should fall into the "I told you so trap". I have three millets which have not failed and work incredibly well for all types of shooting. LRS for precision. DMS for fcking around on any semi auto platform. And TRS for inbetween. Give them a try.

As for falcon. I don't have a problem with them. But generally prefer millet or there build quality. JM2C
