Re: New USO SN3 Glass Quality
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Dark Horse</div><div class="ubbcode-body">There have been a hell of a lot of tactical shooters that have made some serious long range shots with scopes nowhere close in overall quality as a USO. This glass debate is tiresome, I would like someone to demonstrate a situation that arises where a shot could not be made with a USO but could be with a Schmidt, Nightforce or whatever other tube that happens to be the topic of conversation. </div></div>
People that pay this much money for a scope want the highest quality components and best clarity glass they can get. I don't think anyone that buys these scopes is under the illusion a difficult shot could only be made with these scopes. They are tools and better tools help you meet your objectives easier. I don't know where you got the idea that I or other buyers of these scopes think only high end scopes are capable of making long range shots. No one is forcing people to buy these scopes. This was a simple quick review of a scope comparing the glass to a S&B PMII. If the scope is too expensive for some then don't buy it. You don't have to buy a $4,000 H&K 416 to have a good, reliable AR 15. It seems kind of silly to make comments like this IMO.
Also even if the superior clarity of some scopes makes no difference at all in making the shot, why not get the best picture for the money?
