Tenebraex is a thin tight honeycomb, than in my experience degrades the image quality.
USO's ARD is a deeper loose honeycomb that IMHO actually enhances image quality.

It retails for $90.00 direct from USO, but a number of vendors here on the Hide' such as <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">CS Tactical</span></span> and CF Tactical are carrying them as well - I don't know if they have any in stock. I know that Darren at CF Tactical was selling them for $80.00 shipped, but I don't know what Mike at CS Tactical sells them for.

Tenebraex and I like it no complaints I does what its supposed to do.

Having used both Tenebraex and USO ARDs on multiple scopes I concur that the USO honeycomb design yields a much brighter, sharper image than the Tenebraex.

Be mindful, however, that the USO unit is significantly longer.
If you are running an UNS on a forward rail (like firemarshall27's stick above) it can be an issue.

I found that the USO unit was too long to mount a PVS-26 using a Badger EFR on a Crusader (A5 stock) with an S&B 4-16x50.
Now some might argue that you should remove the ARD anyway, but part of the UNS magic is that you don't have to

Also I have not compared the efficacy of each ARD in diffusing reflection at distances over 300 yards.
Has anyone done this comparison?
It would be a shame to learn that the increased light transmission of the USO also makes it easier to detect, the goal of an ARD in the first place.

Good point! Would like to know as well. If someone has both that could do that or if not I can do a test when I get one of the USOs on my PH.

I just bought a PH 5-25x56 gen 2 XR. and I also ordered the USO ARD. However it seems that the tread or the diameter was changed in the latest model of PH 5x25. I called USO and they were aware of the issue and are discussing the possibility of developing a new ADR for the new size.
