Budget Mil/Mil Optics: BSA Tactical, Millett Tactical, or Primary Arms?
Hey all,
Unexpected expenses have hit over the past couple of months and dug into my fun money, but I still need to pick up a starter mil/mil scope.
Right now, I'm looking between these three:
BSA Tactical 4-14x44mm Side Focus
Millett Tactical TRS-1 4-16x50mm Side Focus
Primary Arms 4-14X44 Mil Mil FFP
Granted, all these are low-end, budget affairs, but do any of these three come out as the obvious choice to you experienced guys? The Primary Arms is a bit of an unknown, historically, but they seem to be building a good reputation for price. That, and the FFP is appealing.
To rehash, this will be going on a 5.56 with mix of precision paper punching and coyote/varmint hunting.
Thanks!

Primary arms has decent stuff, not bad glass. I'd say you get more than what you pay for with PA, but I would not use it on anything but a range-only weapon. I have Trijicon and Aimpoint on my defense weapons. PA stuff is pretty good for a budget though, American company but contracts production in China to cut costs.
I can't comment on the other two.
