Hey everyone, if anyone is looking for a Millett DMS, I just found some on this website http://www.smokewagongear.com/p-351-millett-1-4x24dms-ir-tct-rfl-scp.aspx

It looks like it is a Gen 1, but for $150 you can't beat the price, especially when they are so hard to find right now.

I really thought people would be interested in this. They said it shipped already so hopefully I'll have it by the weekend.

I just got rid of a millet. it wasnt a dms though it was their trs 4-16. I was nothing but absolutely thrilled with it, image was crystal clear, the optic was comparable to some of my friends much higher end scopes, but at a fraction of the cost. If and when i go back to magnified optics on my m4gery it will likely be a dms, hell id get one of the gen1at this price. if it breaks you just send it back and they replace it with a new generation one. Hard to beat that

No need mvician as I have read every thing I can about 5 times regarding this scope. But thank you anyways.

 

[Guest]

Yeah, I like mine...

 

[Guest]

are these really the DMS series optics? I'm seeing physical differences that are bugging me or I'd have already order 4...

I was a little worried myself, but I checked Millett's vendors listed on their website and this company is listed. The umbrella company for smokewagongear.com is:
Kiesler Police Supply*
3300 Industrial Pkwy
Jeffersonville, IN 47130
Phone: 812 284-0077

I think they are good to go. I will hopefully have it by this weekend so I'll let ya'll know. If they aren't then I will return it.

I think I'm going to call them today.. is there a difference (for those who have them) between the Gen1 and 2 scopes and the cosmetics (the focus ring teeth is what sticks out) besides the placement of the illumination control?

I just got my tracking number and confirmation email this morning. It should be here Friday.

The click windage/elevation adjustments are also different.

I actually prefer the Gen I. I'm debating ordering another now, just to have, if it is indeed a Gen I.

I got some Burris high tactical rings to mount the DMS. I am just hoping it will clear the front sight post and my ARMS 40L rear sight. I got them for $35 for the pair.

That's one of the ring sets I tried, but you can't get the scope far enough forward unless you put the front ring on the forend.

That's why I switched to a one-piece mount.

 

[Guest]

I don't mind doing that because I have a railed handguard that is FF so I should be ok. Do you remember if you were able to see over the sight post at 1x?

 

[Guest]

You really don't want to mount an optic half on the receiver and half on a FF even if it is attached.

That's why most people went with the Larue SPR-E to get the eye relief.

I don't have a front sight on that rifle.

Well I can't afford to spend $200 on a mount right now. So I have to get by with what I can afford. I won't really know how I am going to mount it or where until I get the scope. Hopefully the rings I bought will be high enough to clear my rear buis and the front sight post. If not, well I plan on eventually buying a flip up front sight gas block. In the mean time I may cut down the front sight base and remove the rear buis. Who knows.
