Millett SP-1 Compact - Burris AR-P.E.P.R. Mount

For an inexpensive optic I had no problems putting this thing through the abuse of an active carbine course from Stone Cobra Tactical. I was able to leave the sight on all day and put it through the paces. It was banged around pretty well throughout the day and take shooting all day long. It maintained zero all day long. I was able to use it both eyes open and the 3 MOA dot was a good size for the 50 yard and closer distances that we were using during the course.

The Burris mount was fantastic for this sight as well as scopes for the AR. It puts the optic in just the right spot for height. The Millett didn’t require eye relief so I was able to mount the sight about halfway to the front sight. The mount is solid and stays in place.

The topic has been the same for a long time regarding optics. A lot of people believe that you get what you pay for when it comes to sights. I am one of those. If you are planning on just doing some courses here and there or plinking out at the range, I don’t see anything wrong with the optic. Me personally, I wouldn’t trust it to go to combat with. I just don’t think that I could stop thinking about how “cheap” the optic was and I would spend all of my time waiting for it to fail.

MagPul MBUS Front and Rear

I am happy with the MagPul sights. They function well and work as advertised. The sights have held zero through more than a 1000 rounds. I’m not talking about shoot, sight, shoot, sight, shoot… I’m talking about SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT, until the mag is empty, reload, and shoot again. For the money you can’t beat these sights.
