Isn't the USO Foundation 10x still regarded as a good scope?
I know they have some chinese shit now, but the foundation series is still made in the US, they also have the 1.8-10.
I own the 5-25x50 (SCR-Mil) and the XTR II 4-20x50 (Horus 59). The clicks on both scopes are 0.1 mil. Both scopes have good glass and track flawlessly. Although both scopes are lit, I hardly ever use them. I have struck 16-inch breast plates at 1000 yards with both scopes on a 6.5 Creedmoor. Therefore, the scope will easily get you to 800 depending on your rifle and ammunition. Depending on your preferences and intended use, the XTR II is a fantastic scope, in my opinion, especially considering its price. Over the course of a weekend, I used tripods to compare it against the Bushnell Elite LRTS and the Vortex Viper PST scope in various lighting conditions. I retained the Burris and gave the others back.
Since I prefer the H-59 reticle for long-range competition shooting, I want to sell the 5-25. For long-range shooting and hunting, the SCR-Mil reticle on the 5-25 is likely a better all-around reticle. For fast follow-up rounds on PRS-style shoots, I like the Horus 59. The H-59 is, in my opinion, excessively crowded for most hunters. Since I prefer the bigger reticle lines/dots on the mid dot reticle for hunting and don't require the small 0.2 MIL windage lines, I have a Japanese-made Weaver Tactical 4-20 on my varmint rifle. Additionally, the Weaver Tactical 3-15 and 4-20 are excellent scopes. When utilizing a Mil dot or MRAD reticle, I like the 0.1 MIL clicks that they provide over MOA.

Ended up with a XTR3 3x18 along with the XTR2 4x20. Xtr3 is the nicest and most expensive scope I’ve ever owned…stop laughing. It has better glass than the two, but both are good to go for anything I’m gonna do. Eye box is better on the XTR3, but you only notice it if you are shooting both in the same session. Love the zero stop system on the Burris rifles. Would love to find another Xtr2 4x20 for around 500 bucks if I had to get another scope.
