Does anyone have any kind of review good or bad they can offer on the above mentioned scopes? Thanks for any feedback.

In my opinion, the Leapers are strictly low quality products. Not having owned either of the other two, can't say what their quality is like.

A friend of mine went through all of them. Millet lasted the longest but Id rather have a 40 year old Weaver than the Millet I saw on his rifle.

Save your pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters. Mueller is inexpensive but good, same with Simmons, especially now that Meade Labs is making them better. Good glass is worth every penny. If you see a used Burris Fullfield in a gun shop or pawn shop in good shape, I wouldnt be afraid to offer $100 cash then and there.

Look at all the glass, the whole field of view, clarity at all magnifications, crispness of the crosshairs and of the view. Inspect the heck out of it for abuse. Research the companies for their warranties. Can't go wrong with Burris or Leupold. Lifetime, even on used scopes.

I'd rather see someone spend a little more money after researching and shopping around longer and get a good scope, than get a lemon that they have to replace and waste money on the lemon in the first place.
