Re: EREK Milestone
Milestone is an Erek that in additon to all the regular clicks, has heavier detents at the full mil marks, every so many moa, or custom built as a tactile BDC. You can "feel" a heavier click wherever you want them.
USO is full custom and I would sugget to anyone considering building one to call and talk to them, they are working on a new site, but there is so much more than is on their site. Site doesn't show that they can put an anti cant level inside the scoeps either-just another cool feature they offer.
Other scope manufacturers use this system (with USO's consent and licensing) under the term MTC (More Tactile Clicks) to mark full mils (Premier, S&B).

Thanks for the info. I am going to upgrade my optics soon and that kind of money doesn’t come easy. Naturally I am looking at the top players you referred to in your reply. I was able to just recently look through a 5X25 T-Pal with an EREK and really liked the turret. Don't know if I like the T-Pal or go with the ERGO. Would like to get behind one first. Heard it is the better way to go, but don't know if I can reach the objective comfortably in the prone position. The 2 matches I shoot are 200 - 425 and 220 to 875 yds respectively. So I use the parallax from time to time.
Also didn't know USO offered more than what was on their website. Kind of hard to ask for something you know nothing about.
Thanks again for the info.

Re: EREK Milestone
No problem. I have 3.2-17 and the big boy 3.8-22 Ergos. I just got he 3.8-22 (same size as the 5-25 Tpal) and without shooting it I set the ERGO to 200yds and had no problems that I could tell eyeballing buildings at 400, 800 and 1200 yards clearly. I cannot do that with my 5-25 Tpal and its the reason I prefer the Ergo. I usually set an Ergo for the close targets at a match and wind up not touching it all day.
The amazing CS, true "made in USA" and all around quality of USO make them my choice in optics every chance I get. There are soem scopes that folks say are better, but I've never corresponded with the owner or CEO of S&B, Zeiss, or others personally. I'll stick with JBW#3 and his crew every time, because they have taken care of me. If for some reason something isn't right with your scope and it says "US Optics" on it, its pretty much covered.
I'd call and talk to Jeff or PM doc76251 here on the 'hide and ask about what goodies aren't on the site if you are considering a build. Let them know what job you want done and they will guide you tot he best tool they can for it.

Re: EREK Milestone
I know its kinda like comparing a pinto to a porsche, but I got one of the springfield scopes that has the internal levels in it. And I really love it. I've always wondered why more of the ultra premium builders didn't put them in their rigs. I have a uso spotter and love it. If I can ever scratch up the money. Id love to have 3.8-22 with erek to finish off the surgeon. I think every mfg should have the large erek knob it sure does make the standards SUCK num 1-40somthin is a heck of alot easier to keep up with than squintin@ witch set of 10 your on

Re: EREK Milestone
sobrbiker883,
Thanks for the input on the ERGO. I too noticed I had to adjust the T-Pal more than usual. I will get the ERGO if I go that route.
Last question.
What tube diameters are you running. What is your take on a 35mm tube? I currently shoot a .260 and only need 5.7 mils to 875. But when the barrel goes I am going back to a .308. Just love that round. So with that in mind would the 35mm tube be the way to go?
Thanks again

Re: EREK Milestone
I don't adjust my T-Pal any more than I have any other side focus scope, I just find an adjustable objective more forgiving. Parallax is also worst if you are shooting a shorter distance than the scope is set for.
34mm offers you more selection of rings, but mine are 35mm because that's what the first big tube I had was and I already had rings. I also run a 30mm 3.2-17 that does fine on a 20 moa base. It did run out of elevation at 8 mils mounted on my POF, but that was on a flat rail, and I can't guarantee the rail was parallel with the bore.
If you run a 20moa base (which the USO SN3's re set up for) you should be good for any moderate range cartridge (1000-1200) with any of the tube sizes.
35 is hardest to mount low due to the ring mechanics, but my two big ones have 58mm objectives, so that's kind of moot.
