So, what is the final verdict on the scope. I have not shot my 700 yet with TRS on it yet. Usually I will use the fill dots from the shoot n see targets to check my sighting. Plus you can tell hits from the bench instead of having to walk out to your targets.

Well, Im in love with the LRS for sure, 5 shot sight in and was repeatable......Im ecstatic. I havent mounted the TRS yet. I didnt have any 30mm rings. I actually got the TRS for the AR and plan on the LRS for the 700.
Glass is good worked well, nothign bad to report

That was good shooting considering you were shooting econo ammo. I swear precision on the ammo being shot. For my Varminter AR, I use Black Hills remanufactured with Hornady's 55gr. V-max and they do the trick.

You threw me off a bit since the scope shown at first is a TRS but then I realized that the last shot/picture shown and the scope mounted on the AR is a LRS. The difference between the TRS and the LRS for the ones that would like to know, is that the TRS has an illuminated reticle, 50 mm objective lens, 30 mm tube and it comes in both 4-16 power or fixed 10X. The LRS illuminated reticle is an option, it has an 56 mm objective lens, 35 mm tube and they are equipped with 6-25 power so you can reach out and touch someone.
The bigger the tube, the more light gathers in the scope thus giving the shooter a clearer image even in low light conditions.
The bigger the objective lens, the wider your field of view will be and it also helps on gathering light.

I love these from my own personal experience, these scopes are the best bang for the buck.
If you conduct a search you will see first hand that there are plenty mixed reviews on their TRS (TRS-1) models. Millet also has a lifetime warranty on their scopes, so any issues you may have should be taken care of.
The first scope I got from them had a hard time obtaining a clear field of view by having haziness at it's highest magnification (poss. a mis-aligned lens). I sent it for repair and they sent me a new one. I've tested its tracking by working it thru a box test and the results were good.
These $300 scopes by no means can be compared to $2K or $3K scopes, but they can certainly hang with the ones that cost double and even triple their price.
