Evening everyone. I am needing a little advise here. Looking at purchasing a USO ST-17. Setup would be moa/moa. EREK Elevation 1/4 and M40 style Windage 1/4 turrets. Ergo parallax. MOA Type 1 reticle (non-illuminated). 35mm tube and 58mm objective.
With the above configuration, cost is right at $2000. I would like to do a SN-3 3.2 - 17x but with the same options it is over $500 more in cost.
The scope is going on a 6.5 Grendel build with a 24" barrel. It is thought that if I build a bigger gun down the road that this scope will be able to be moved over to it. So the question is...... would you spend the extra coin to get the variable SN-3 or would the fixed ST-17 suffice for multiple applications. I must also state that at $2000, this will be the most expensive peice of glass I have ever purchased so I am being a little cautious and trying to look at all options. Resale value is being considered if need be as well.
Thank you for all pro's and con's. Thick skin here so I ask for all positive and critical comments.
Thanks again.
