    I think $599 for just the scope, and another $150 or so for the added Fastfire, according to Midway (not the best prices, I'll concede). They list the Fastfire option as including matte rings. These of course would be Burris rings. They appear to be the Xtra-High versions that Burris sells.

    I'm not sure if there's an option where you could still go with Burris' rings, but select a lower height. I wuld like the option to pair this setup with a riser/extension mount, either a LaRue QD mount, or a YHM fixed mount. But I've found I like my scopes positioned a bit farther fwd on the flat top and I need an extension base to push the scope farther fwd. Well in addition to pushing it fwd, it also raises it .25 - .33" or so, so you need to compensate with a shorter ring. The Xtra-High rings I staretd out with ended up being too tall when mounted to the extension base. I ended up dropping down to the Medium height rings to get everyjhting the way I liked it, that was with a 2-7X Fullfield II model, 1" tube.

    Now the question is if I replace my newly warranty replaced DMS-1? With the fast fire feature I would like to use a ADM Recon-X mount but it might not be possible. Maybe I should stop being cheap and by the Short Dot that keeps calling my name? I was going to buy a Masada or SCAR but maybe instead of buying another platform when im already heavily vested in the AR I should just by better optics? Damn decisions!

    I recently handled a Millet DMS and I liked what I saw to include the price, even though I'm a "get what you pay for type of guy". Anyone had one in extreme conditions yet, like the desert, jungle or very cold?

    You are right about the Burris XTR 14 not being a true 1.1X. It is 1X according to the Burris rep I spoke with today, and it appeared to be just that with the scope I looked through.
    It also has a second focal plane reticle. You can see in their add that the BDC only works at 4X magnification on page 11 of this thread.

    I just got one of your "blem" Millet DMS-1 scopes and could not be happier for the $179 spent... If there was a speck in that glass, I couldn't see it...

    Also picked up a CAA mount for it...

    All I needed was a decent 1-4x illuminated scope for a SPR I have, but did not want to swing the 1.5k to 2k needed for top-tier glass...



    So for just a hair above $200 I have just want I needed for range work and the occasional rifle match... Time will tell if it will hold up, and I may splurge for a Larue SPR-E mount soon, but so far it is the exact solution I needed at this time...

    DMS-1

    I also just got one of the "blem" Millet DMS-1 scopes and I am very happy for the 178.00 shipped price. It came to me NIB and still wrapped in the factory plastic. I matched it up in a larue SPS-S and mounted the unit on my Noveske 13.7 Infidel. After a day at the range I have been very impressed with the scope's clarity and the Illuminated circle/dot reticle but i could not find the so called blemish. For those on a budget (like me) it might be worth a look.
