98Z5V Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Primary Arms has a good sale going on, but of note is the Millett DMS-1 scope, and mounting possibilities. Sale ends 14 Jan, at midnight.I have one of these scopes already, on a 16" midlength gas 5.56 gun, with a great barrel. Awesome combo, with the gun and optic. Right now, the scope is on sale for $179. Pick a mount, pick NO mount, whatever. BUT, if a 1-4x scope can fulfill your needs, and you want a GREAT mount for it, they have the American Defense mounts, WITH this scope, for a killer deal. I nailed another one of these scopes, with the ADM Scout Extended scope, for $309 total. Hit it up, if it fits your needs:http://www.primaryarms.com/Millett_1_4_x_24_DMS_Multi_Coat_RedDot_Rifl_p/bk81002.htm?utm_source=constant+contact&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=JAN13MSRP on that scope, from Millet, is $389. Street price is nowhere close to that. MSRP on the mount, from ADM, is $179... If you add that up... <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I got that email too. I've been looking hard at that combo. It seems a little nicer than a red dot with flip to side x3 mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Same scope I used on this build a couple years ago:http://308ar.com/forum/black-rifles/isn't-this-how-it-always-starts/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I hope somebody here took advantage of that sale - it was a decent amount off the scope, but $50 off the ADM mount. I went with the ADM Scout Extended, and it worked out perfect for an AR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I was very tempted, and hesitated too long... :'(I'll have to hold out for the PA red-dot/x3-mag combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLKSHEEP Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I see PA has their own line of scopes (scopes with their name) who makes these? <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I see PA has their own line of scopes (scopes with their name) who makes these? <dontknow>Branded by PA, and chinese made. PA pays for the extra QC steps at the factory, and gets some pretty quality stuff. You might find something similar in looks and specs, from other companies - but the specs are weaker and the QC steps in them don't exist. The PA stuff is really better than "the same thing I saw on Gun Broker" or "...at my local gun show..."Don't worry about the stuff you find or buy from PA - it's good, and it's got a link back to someone to talk to if something should go wrong with it - Marshall is a stand-up guy and backs what he sells. <thumbsup>I think I have five of the micro-red dot setups from him now, going all the way back to 2010. I haven't been able to kill one of them yet, and one is on the GSR .308 bolt gun. The product stands up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Sweet rifle Tom, seems very SPR-like in form and function....Matt, that's the one that's getting the Cerakote "Sniper Gray" paint... The build of the Haley/Bravo Company "Jack" rifle... So - I'm going to strip the light down and paint it - should I paint the ADM scope mount? Or the scope, too?Right now, the upper, lower, and rail will get painted. Thinking of painting the receiver extension, too. The light body and scope mount are up in the air. <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My $.02 anyways. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 PA has a FFP mil/mil scope for super cheap. Im dying to check it out..but I have nothing to stick it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 You just got that Stag upper - that would be perfect to run it on and check it out. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I know..but I put the nikon on there..and im kinda liking that scope so far. Id like to keep all my Scopes the same but the m223 has a regular plex ret. And the balistic turret so theres no need for ffp/mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPBCTS Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I've looked at their 4x14 FFP for my -10, but just don't know enough about it. I know what to expect from other scopes in that price range, and don't think I'd be happy with them even as a temporary measure. I wish I know more...
