US Optics new X series scopes

[Sauce06]

Hey all, i was wondering if anyone knows anything abou the new USO X series scopes coming out?? They look alot more interesting than their TS series for sure. Id definitelty try one out if made in the US, but at the price point i doubt they are

They're absolutely made in China. And with USO's worst possible lineup of reticles. I love their American made stuff, but wow, where's the JVCR in the X-Series????

 

[Sauce06]

Yeah, i figured. Asked USO via email the same question on Wednesday and no answer...guess that shouldve been my answer from the get-go

Well, I guess I take it back, the CMT and CMS look ok. The EMCR2 is mind boggling though. What do all the marks mean? Is it MOA and MRAD combined? Is it .1 if it's on the right side of an MRAD line, and .3 if it's not, and .5 if it's somewhere near the middle? I'm just... How could you have the something awesome like a JVCR and then this stuff?

I honestly don’t know what market they are chasing.

If its not japanese or phillipine glass, its already falling behind Vortex and others

It sucks to admit, but I think the ED glass in the Chinese Ares ETR was better than the Cronus. China sucks, but they're putting out higher and higher quality stuff lately. Sucks that it's cheap enough to steal market share.
