Okay, I've had my Leupold 3-10 Mk4 M3 for a while. Ready to upgrade. Don't think I want super high power just 15-17 max. Thinking either USO, S&B or Nightforce. Don't need illum reticle but FFP would be nice. I don't want 1/4 moa turrents (too fine) but would prefer 1/2 mil but could settle for 1/10 mil.

Best of all I want great glass. My leupold is okay but isn't as clear as I would like it. I've read some reviews which said that S&B is the best and that USO has okay glass. Others have said USO is wonderful. Is there any way that I could preview any of these before purchase?

go buy the Nightforce F1 that is for sale in the optics section. Not my scope, but a helluva deal.

Search! plenty of topics about these scopes. S&B and USO are a step up from Nightforce I think but Nightforce are great scopes for the $$ ! You might want to rethink the 1/4moa adjustments. They are not that fine when you start to stretch the legs!
