I'm mainly going to use it for 3-gun. Is the 1.5 as opposed to 1 gonna mess with me much at close range?
I've got offset sights so I'm not too worried but...

You should have gotten one of these:
Here's why:
No wait, that scope would be on your rifle already.
True 1X.
Huge eye box, bigger than my SN-4.
Brighter than my SN-4.
I don't know how much you paid, the Vortex is $1400, delivered. In like 3 days.
The one advantage of the SN-4 with the JNG reticle, is that it has hashmarks you can use it for ranging. But to me, on a .223 rifle, from 0-300 yards, you're not going to be doing a bunch of hold over calculations.
Enjoy your new USO.

The USO is a true miltary grade, SHTF scope while the Vortex only serves as a gun game scope. The Vortex has a BDC only reticle and weighs 24 ox. without mount. While it offers good clarity and a daylight visible dot, had Vortex put in a capable ranging reticle, reduced the weight, and offered it in black as well, they would have had a solid offering.
You have to decide the best scope to fit your needs.
gun games - Vortex
SHTF use and durability - USO

1.5x will not hurt you a bit... I use a 1.5 x 6 on my duty AR. Use it indoors, active shooter response, etc. as well as outdoors at longer DM ranges. It has a CQB reticle, designed by Doc. Yours will be utterly perfect for your three-gun and will always be a valuable piece of kit.
For very close range... get used to the scope height (over the bore) and make the adjustments in your head. At 5 yards... put that reticle high! Know your scope reticle center to bore center distance... compensate as needed.
USO is a no-excuses piece of gear. You will never be sorry.

While I like USO and want one of their 1-8 scopes for my REPR I have to disagree with your above statement.
