    Desert Tactical SRS Range Report

    Re: Desert Tactical SRS Range Report Fredo, Are you happy with your USO 3.2-17x44 on your SRS338? I am trying to decide between a new Premier 5-25x56 or maybe picking up a used USO 3.2-17x44 and saving a few hundred dollars. I can't find a used USO 22x, but there are a bunch of nice 17x's...

    Desert Tactical SRS Range Report

    Re: Desert Tactical SRS Range Report Talking with DTA they are recommending their 40 MOA base for the new Premier 5-25x56 on the SRS338. This seems excessive to me with the 103 MOA of total adjustment the scope has. I guess if you want to be able to shoot 2000+ yards but for even just a mile...
