Welcome to Optics Talk.
 
Did you try to "split the circles" on the BDC reticle? How far out did you shoot it? 
My .308 and 168gr MK's shot pretty well while using it.    
If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

Really - at that price I might have to test one and see for myself.
 
CT  I suspect its an issue of not realizing the bdc only works at max power, One of my best friends that I hunt with did not have that figured out until after he missed several nice deer and I told him unfortunately the scope info doesnt make that issue really clear. When you dial it down to the powers you actually use stalking the bdc is worthless. I wish they would make a 4x fixed and a 6x fixed both with bdc reticles that would be more useful , untill then I'll dial in correction or just hold over if I dont have enough light to be at max power.

My vote is for Burris Dual Dovetail base and Burris Signature Rings with the plastic inserts that wont need to be lapped but that probably wont excite you with the newly acquired Sinclair 1 inch scope ring lapper so you could just use the steel dual dovetail but then you loose the advantage of the plastic inserts to add plus moa and prevent scratching the scope.

Well I got my SII Scope this week. Ordered the Sinclair lapping tool. All WAS going well. Got everything mounted up and did the visual bore sight in the garage.

Decided to snug up the base windage screws and heard a POP. Yep cracked the windage screw.

So now my question. Where can I get just the screw for this Millett base? I see that you can buy Leupold windage screws at competitor and Brownell's but not sure if it is the same screw?

The screw I have, had kinda a concave lip on the rear of it that locks over the bottom of the ring.
 
Please let me know. or send email to tmpgh at comcast dot net
Thanks

You will be very pleased with the SII. I have a SII 3-12-42 MD. I am happy with it. I bought it before they started going up in price. At the time it was significantly less that the Leo. They have since started closing the price gap. I wish they still offered the same scope, I would like to buy another. One of the best things I like about the scope is that it stays zeroed, unlike many others brands. I have not had to adjusted this scope since I originally sighted it in.

Hello
 
The rings are Millett rings turn in type.   They are strong but they are not made to take on and off all the time as there is wear when turned in.  
 
If you broke a screw just contact Customer service 800  MILLETT and they will send you on for free.  
 
I like picitanny rings and bases also.  there is no wear you can take them off and on all you want.
 
good shooting
