    Rifle Scopes Got my new USO SN3-TPAL. Pic heavy.

    Re: Got my new USO SN3-TPAL. Pic heavy. firebird, nice setup! What is the size of the rear flip cap for the eye piece if you don't mind? hk, I think I may know why you've waited so long... I originally spec'ed out the Mil MPR like you, but when I called a few weeks ago to check on status...

    Rifle Scopes If you cant see the line to zero your turrets.....

    Re: If you cant see the line to zero your turrets..... Sobrbiker, where did you get your V-tac extra low rings from? I saw them on SWFA, but it doesn't say the measurement on the site. Just got my scope, and here is a picture of the line...

    Rifle Scopes Got my new USO SN3-TPAL. Pic heavy.

    Re: Got my new USO SN3-TPAL. Pic heavy. Good to hear firebird! Mine took 8 months, so I am very happy for you that you didn't have to wait as long. By the way, since you also have the TPAL, I assume you have your windage installed on the right side (conventional)? Do you find any trouble...

    Rifle Scopes Got my new USO SN3-TPAL. Pic heavy.

    Re: Got my new USO SN3-TPAL. Pic heavy. Okay, now on to the windage and parallax knobs... First some pictures: This shows manipulation of the windage knob. The scalloping of the US#1 M40 just clears the top of the parallax so my fingers are able to grab and adjust it. This shows...

    Rifle Scopes Got my new USO SN3-TPAL. Pic heavy.

    Wanted to share some excitement, as well as some photos with you all. I personally was searching and asking for pictures of similar setups to mine so I can see certain details, and while the ones I saw and received were helpful, they weren't what I was exactly looking for, so I hope my pics will...

    Rifle Scopes Setting Up An EREK Knob

    Re: Setting Up An EREK Knob Mike, if you don't mind a question regarding the EREK? I just picked up my new SN3-TPAL today, and was using the method of loosening the two small screws on top of the EREK to put the number lines right in line with the clicks. My question is, I would line up the...

    Gunsmithing which clear coat after krylon

    Re: which clear coat after krylon I've been trying different paints on metal surfaces lately, hoping to find a low cost, easy maintenance option to some of the "higher end" spray on finishes like Ceracoat and Duracoat. So far I've tried Krylon, which was given the recommend "do not touch"...

    Re: DSA SRS part 2( optic choices ) NXS/USO/IOR/Prem H USO. Had one SN3 Ergo and waiting on SN3 T-Pal. Only looked through a few NXS and S&B scopes (stiff clicks) and while they are all quality and fine examples of optics, I still prefer USO...

    Rifle Scopes Setting Up An EREK Knob

    Re: Setting Up An EREK Knob Just wondering about centering the reticle, since if the reticle is not centered, or if after you set your 100yd zero the reticle moves off center (if windage is adjusted), wouldn't that prevent you from truly bottoming out to set zero-stop, since the erector tube...

    Rifle Scopes Setting Up An EREK Knob

    Re: Setting Up An EREK Knob I hope I can make sense of what I'm trying to say here: Do you center the reticle first, then set your zero, then set zero-stop?

    Howa barrel removal

    Re: Howa barrel removal Thanks guys, your experiences mirror those of what I've read or heard elsewhere. It'll be a while before I will rebarrel this rifle and when that happens I'll just let whoever wants to work on them cut the relief to remove the barrel anyway. Per Mark this PITA...

    Howa barrel removal

    Hello all, I had a first hand experience watching my smith trying to remove a blued Howa barrel from a blued action yesterday... A proper barrel bushing was used, including an almost four feet long cheater bar on a action wrench, and at the end no barrel was removed and we ended up just cut the...

    Re: Buying a US optic need info There has been quite a few posts regarding green or red illumination, check them out and decide for yourself which you would prefer. I looked through both on USO scopes, in almost pitch dark room. I let my eyes adjust to where I could pick out some shapes in...

    Rifle Scopes If you cant see the line to zero your turrets.....

    Re: If you cant see the line to zero your turrets..... S.B., if you can get Jeff or Arnold to commit at USO, I will volunteer myself, to take your scope to USO during lunch one day (after you ship it to me), get the laser etch done, and then ship it back to you. No fuss and no more drilling...

    Rifle Scopes If you cant see the line to zero your turrets.....

    Re: If you cant see the line to zero your turrets..... Great idea! I've read here that scopes with 35mm tubes tend to suffer more from this problem of not being able to see the zero reference line/dot due to the additional height and the rear ring blocking everything. This is why I asked USO...

    Rifle Scopes Present from US Optics

    Re: Present from US Optics @cttbax - At the beginning of the build I was notified that I would have to wait for the new 110 click EREK with Milestone I ordered since it was just coming out and waiting to be finalized. I had ordered the Mil-MPR reticle but the supplier for the reticle screwed...
