Read up and down the forums concerning glass, and I have chosen USO for my first high end scope purchase.
End of the day, I like being able to have it built to my preference, it's made in the USA (Well, California, they haven't been kicked out of the Union yet), and they back up their product. Win-Win-Win as far as I'm concerned.
I'm not ragging on other manufacturers, US ones or not, but all reasons put together are why I'm going USO.
I got a quote for an SN-3 3.2-17 44mm:
Ergo Parallax
Mil-scale Gap
EREK mil Elevation
US#3 mil Windage
Red Illumination
Internal ACD bubble level.
Everything else I'm going with is standard.
I'm buying it to top a GA precision built .308 AR - 20" barrel
I have two questions for the Hide,
1. Are there other USO options that I should consider?
Not everything is listed on the website. Some new stuff might have been seen at SHOT.
I'm not sure I need any other options because in my absolutely biased opinion this scope will do way more than I am even capable right now and has everything I can even consider needing. I'm just fishing for opinions.
2. Is the 17x more than I need? Would I be better served with a 10x and save the $ for more ammo?
Truth be told, the longest range within 2 hours from me is 300 yds. That being said I view glass purchases in the pay once cry once philosophy, eventually I will move on to more shooting friendly areas, where I will endeavor to stretch my capabilities.
I will also use this for hunting, do you guys think the 10x will be more practical from a weight and FOV point of view?
Just did my taxes last night and daddy needs to get USO a check to start building!
Appreciate the opinions,
Thank you.
