Millett Optics is a reputable brand that offers a wide range of products and services in the gun industry. Founded in the mid-1970s by Betty and Ray Millett, Millett Industries has a rich history of innovation and quality. Ray, an engineer with experience in plastic engine parts, developed the idea for injection-molded steel parts that revolutionized the gun industry.
Millett Industries initially started by repurposing surplus cleaning equipment to manufacture metal and ceramic parts for the aerospace industry. With the help of a physicist friend, Ray perfected the process for producing high-temperature rocket nozzles. The company's trajectory changed when Tom Millett, Betty and Ray's son, joined the company in the late 1970s.
Tom's passion for firearms led to the development of improved pistol sights. Millett's Mark 1 and 2 sight systems, as well as the innovative Dual Crimp system, gained widespread recognition at their first SHOT Show in 1981. Recognizing the potential in optics, Tom expanded the product line to include red dot sights from Japan and later developed a line of riflescopes in China.
To maintain the quality of their optics, Tom enlisted the help of his brother, Jim Millett, who developed an automated computerized system to rigorously test the scopes under realistic firing conditions. Millett Optics is committed to providing innovative and high-quality products that meet the demanding needs of the gun industry. With their extensive history of innovation and advancements, customers can trust Millett Optics for superior performance and accuracy in their firearms
