should i rock this or a uso. i really want mil/mil and zero stop. i can probably drop 1200 if i have to. i already have larue mounts just need something to drop in them. its either or. i can get a uso for 1k or night for around the same amount. i was considering the acog but really its the same price and you need to be shooting the 62 grn bullets. any advice ??? i would like a zero stop just for connivence. i will be using this out to 500 w/ my pws rifle. its gas piston. i mean i thought about a eotech w/ mag but just haven't used one out to my distance's described. any help is greatly appreciated

They both work great and i'm sure whatever one you get you would love it. Nightforce is cheaper. A new NF 1-4 mil on mil are $1459.00.

Decide which distances you will be shooting most, also how important is a quick snap shot? The red dot w/o the magnifier is very fast for close stuff, but good glass is an asset when you have a smaller target at distance, also concider weight and include the mount. Thee is no "correct" answer, it all depends on your application, but I do like a 1-4x scope on an SPR type carbine although I'm using a Leupold on a LaRue SPR mount.

In this case, the USO is actually cheaper. You can get an illuminated SN-4S for 1300.

I think there is one for sale here for $900 if he wants to avoid the wait.

Zero stop isn't an option for the USO though, I don't know about the Nightforce. I know it is available on the 2.5-10x32mm NXS, unsure about the 1-4. I really don't see the need for a zero stop on a 1-4 powered optic IMO.

Also consider that the 1-4x NF w/zs is a single turn optic. Other words, you only get one full revolution of the elevation turret w/zs which I believe is 5 mils. Since u r only going to 500, you should be good. If u go with mildot reticle, u can hold or dial. I looked at the FC2 reticle the other day and I believe it to be much faster than the mildot reticle. Again, it depends on your need. Good luck.
