Rifle Scopes US Optics B10

[TacticalPlinker]

I really like this scope on paper. But after checking out the specs I gotta ask if there's a mistake listed on their site.

To clarify, this would be mounted on a 5.56 SPR style build. So my priorities are both low end magnification as well as the high end.

They list the 1.8-10 with only 36' FOV @ 100y .
Compared to my current 2.5-10 Vortex PST FFP with 47' FOV . That's a big difference.

Does anyone have one to share your experience with on the USO B10? Are the specs not telling the whole story?

I need a dynamic scope that's fast on the bottom end for competition, and that listed FOV sounds slow.



Thanks....

I plan to test one when they finish their next batch of these (soon, I hope). This kind of a FOV constriciton can be due to the tunnelling at low mag, or it could be a typo. Historically, USO scopes had quite a bit of tunneling, but they said it was a little better with the B-series scopes. If the number is accurate, it would mean that there is tunneling below 3.1x or so.

There has been a few typos in their recent literature that they are working on changing.
I put a call in to get the actual specs and will let you know as soon as I hear back.

Wow, love this new format
