Super Sniper or Millett?

 

Super Sniper, hands down.

 

I own the 10x SS and have used the Millet in question. I much prefer the former, though the Millet isn't entirely junk either.  

 It is hard to get a unbiased reply when super sniper is made for SWFA

 

 Before I get trashed I am not saying that you guys don't know what you are talking about and that the ss is better but I have seen on other sites that the other was preferred.WHY?

if the ss is so much better hands down

Well Matt, I prefer the SS because it's simpler being a fixed 10x, not as bulky, didn't have the big ass SF wheel, rear focus, had better glass, turrets that I liked better, no crappy lit reticle and I just like the Super Sniper better overall.

 

Is that OK Matt, or I'm I just saying all this because I'm a SWFA shill?

 

I tried the Millet out Matt and didn't think it was all that hot, but like I said earlier, I wouldn't consider it "junk" either. It was better than I thought it would be, but I couldn't wait to get my SS back on.  

 

Matt,

 There are a lot of reasons other sites may choose another optic over the SS, not the least of which might be professional jealousy.  Other reasons might be that they might not actually have USED one or both of the optics in question but merely like to pontificate (one of the reasons I started "hanging out" at this forum... less pontification, more information based upon experience... not to say there isn't some, just much less) and seem more learned than they actually are.  

 There are a number of reasons someone might choose a Millet over the SS, but quality, repeatability, durability are not among them.  You are trying to compare a variable to a fixed power scope, which is almost a non-starter.  However, I have used both, don't own either.  The only reason I don't own a SS is because I have just had other priorities and have not had the specific instance that requires me to get one.  I DO intend to own one in the near future.  The reasons I don't own a Millet of the type you describe are several, but one in particular is that I just don't have confidence in it yet.  In my mind, I need to test it more before I can comfortably say I would use it on anything other than an AR-15 or similar rifle.  I don't have one of those, so I just don't have the need for one.  

It is very difficult to ask someone, even a very experienced rifleman, to make a valid comparison of a fixed vs variable scope and then to make a suggestion.  You asked and you got honest opinions.  

I have NO affiliation with SWFA other than this forum and a few scope purchases.  I will, however, go out on a limb and say that you will not find better customer service anywhere, you will not find more integrity anywhere, and IF they offer up a product with the SWFA "stamp" on it, it will be a cut above similarly priced items.  In the case of the SS, it is better than that.  All that said, I don't believe anyone who has responded to you has indicated what YOU should purchase, only their own experience and comfort level based upon that experience.   ONCE AGAIN, YOU asked.  

If you don't want the answer, don't ask the question.

 I think cheaptrick is right on the fixed power being a better choice.

more simple.

 

The other sites are not owned  by a scope com. So there would be no resone to lie.

 

But I have also seen on them sites say that ss is better. I think that they are very close with what I read . I think that millett and ss both have a following .

 

someday I hope to see one of these ss 

 

I am a big boy so I can take the answer

Well, big boy, sniper central did do a review of the Millet.  However, if you notice, durability and repeatability were not mentioned, quality was mentioned in the negative.  Sniper's Hide reviewed the SS and ALL of those features were addressed, positively.  There are several other sites which have reviewed the SS, as well.  My personal use has been samples of one, but the overall "feel" goes to SS.  Going into battle, I would take a Super Sniper and leave the Millet behind.  Super Sniper is not the best scope on the market, and it is not the cheapest. However, it is absolutely one of the best around for the price... you get more than what you pay for.  Not many scopes can actually live up to that claim.  

Your implication that someone on this forum may lie is out of line.  Way out of line.  

It is easy to see a Super Sniper scope... buy one.  

 

No kidding.

just my thoughts on this

Duce 

 

that is very fine shooting good job to anybody that can do that.

but did you look at the reply and post I made ? I don't think it justify that your ss is better NO?

I could give you a few year of targets that was used with a millett. The new 223 is all new rifle scope and all and with only 11 rounds is under .5 and that is with finding zero at 50 and 100 yards. you can see it for yourself.

With that said I would not say that you wasted your money and your scope is junk. because its not but you have no problem telling me I wasted mine. For what ? There is nothing you can do with your scope that I can't do just as good or better with a millet. This could be do to your shooting skills and mine not the scope. so this proves nothing.

I will tell you that my millett that I have on my 308 will hold its zero from 100 to 500. belive me I tyed to find I week spot on the scope and came up with nothing. I would go from 100 to 500 to 300 and so on . It pasted or I would be singing a diffrent tune.

 

I am not saying to go out and by a millett but if the ss is so much better I want to know because I would like to get one but I need real info.

 

thank you for all the replys and not trashing  I guess I will just have to get one but I will not be selling any milletts for it
