I sent my 1.5-6 back to USO to have a lit reticle installed. I believe the normal price for this is $186.00. They are also building me a 3.2-17. So Becky calls me today and says your SN-3 is ready and will be shipping both scopes soon. About 2hrs later she calls me back and says we made a mistake on your SN3, you requested a 34mm tube and as it was going through QC we noticed it was built on a 35mm. She says we are rebuilding it immediately and we will ship the other scope back this week. So I say I will give you a credit card # for the lit reticle and Becky replies "this one is on us". All I can say is wow, it just doesn't get any better than that. Awesome product and customer service to go along with it!
Rifle Scopes Nobody's perfect but USO pretty damn close

....he did get a great deal!
Leave it to USO to turn this from a problem for one customer to a win for two customers. Damn but I do admire their style!

Re: Nobody's perfect but USO pretty damn close
never had anything but great dealings with USO. I had originally considered going with a Premier when I bought my last glass but when I got the run around for 2 days by PR and USO called me back the same day the decision was made for me. I have 2 more weapons I need glass on and I will only by USO...

Re: Nobody's perfect but USO pretty damn close
You Know I have only been working with USO for a few months. However, when Guys ask me why they should buy a USO over another top brand my answer is this: When you call USO for help or service they are there, they are not in another country. USO will build how you want it, change it if you need too and most of all back it up on the RARE occasion that it needs repair.
That is alot of what your paying for. Not to mention machining accuracy and tolerances that are simply spetacular

How would a "hunting scope" be different from a low magnification tactical?

I would guess and say the weight of the USO with rings on a 7lb hunting rifle would probably turn a lot of people off. Most common hunting scopes with a 25mm tube will weigh under a pound.

Re: Nobody's perfect but USO pretty damn close
A 1.8-10x SN-3 is 1.75 lbs and the SN-4 is 1.4 lbs. The SN-3 I have coming in is only 2.1 lbs.
Throw some lightweight rings on there and roll with it!
You can only go so light without sacrificing durability. Operators can only carry so much weight before it has an impact on mission accomplishment. When you do stuff like stripping extra plastic and cardboard out of MRE's and sacrificing chow for radio batteries, weight matters. So if they could reduce the weight of their scopes without impacting durability, I am sure they would.
If I was out on a once in a lifetime hunt, I would want an optic that could take a beating. It would suck to fall on your rifle and not be able to take that trophy animal because the scope wasn't up to par.

Darkhorse and Mastersgt,
Give me a shout. I'm interested in hearing about what your looking for in a "hunting" optic.
Cheers,
Doc

So you are saying a Tasco would top off your rifle on that once in a lifetime hunt.

Re: Nobody's perfect but USO pretty damn close
Doc,
I'm not looking for a hunting scope, USO West has both my scopes.
Just a side note, that 1.5-6 was a non-lit body so the cost actually would have been $386.00 to convert. You guys give new meaning to customer service.
Thanks again.
