Well finally saved up enough lunch money and wanna place my order tomorrow to USO and get my new glass on order. The biggest question is do I go mil/mil or Moa/Moa? This is going on a DTA SRS in 308 and 338LM and is my first long range build. So fellow hide members help me out in that department if you could.

Mil Mil without a doubt.
You will be very happy with your USO.

Mil or MOA
Plenty of information. Afterall, its your choice, and what your shooting buddies use. Its easier if you and your shooting partners have the same system, so it is easier.

Re: Us optics sn3 Tpal
Well ill be shooting with a buddy that runs Moa/Moa but I know a lot of people are making the switch to mil/mil and I just want what's the easiest to use and accuracy obviously counts. And as far as USO reticles go any ideas on what's the best reticle to run for long range dialing?

Re: Us optics sn3 Tpal
Go mil/mil, this is my 5-25 t-pal on my 338/260
this might be too busy for you, but I picked the H-37

Re: Us optics sn3 Tpal
I also went mil/mil on my sn3 with the gap mil scale reticle and so far have been very happy with it, not too busy but still enough hold overs. Give lazy21 a call and he can hook you up with a good deal on one, he sure helped me out with picking something out not to mention a great deal.

Re: Us optics sn3 Tpal
I would go mil/mil. To me, it makes more sense. I really like the Gen2XR and the gap mil scale. My first "high end" scope was a USO SN3 in MOA. It was a great scope but I sold it and went mil/mil. Lately I have an itch for a 5-25 TPAL!

Re: Us optics sn3 Tpal
Thanks Walter!!!! Lazy was on me about the glass be for I could read the post haha I'm emailing back and forth as we speak. He's gonna have his hands full with my questions it will be like herding cats with me. It took half a bottle of jack and a fist full of cash to finally make up my mind on what rifle to buy/build. And the glass Is turning out a harder decision then that.

Re: Us optics sn3 Tpal
I would say you need to shoot alot more to decide what you like before you dump that kinda coin on a USO. MIL/MOA is a personal thing, pick your poison. Make your turrets match the reticle and be happy.

Re: Us optics sn3 Tpal
I got the mil/mil but went with the Barret reticle that is similar to the gen2xr. Uso didnt have any in so pht the gen2xr and offered to re fit it when they get them in in a few months. Now THAT id customer service! Make sure u request threaded eye piece and objective in case you ever want to get the metal screw on lens caps. Doesnt come with the threads by default strangely enough

Wow, that's quite a scope. I'm interested to hear about the blue illumination. My only experience with blue is when driving and I see a company with a blue sign, I find it difficult to look at. Perhaps at lower lumens it provides a really easy contrast to pick up.

Re: Us optics sn3 Tpal
This is my 100th post so I will try to make it epic. So far I have jumped into us optics head first and now have a collection of these sn-3's. I have mil/moa, moa/moa and iphy/iphy. All but 1 are 3.2-17. The other one is 3.8-22. I have a friend that shoots mil/mil and it is very frustrating to exchange DOPE with him while we are at the range. I tell him my hold and then try to put a multiplier on it for mil value. If you choose moa then make sure you get a matching moa/moa or iphy/iphy system. With that said, I did not know when I got into the erek turrets that 1/2 moa elevation will get you out past 1000 yds under one full turn. The 1/4 moa erek elevation knob takes almost 2 full revolutions. I will buy 1/2 moa elevation knobs from here on out. As far as reticles go, I love the pcmoa and mdmoa reticles for the precise wind hold ability. The rdp is awesome because the reticle is fine enough in the inside 4 moa part of the crosshair where you are able to put the crosshair on the last bullet hole that you made. The drawback for me is that the windage hashes are spaced at 2 moa closest to the center and then 5 moa from there. I do not feel like I can adequately hold wind using the reticle on this one. I have tpal and ergo and can't argue one over the other except that you would be able to more easily focus in and out to check for changes in crosswind at different ranges. Hope I have helped. Just one man's opinion.

Been using the blue for a little while now and it is really easy on the eye and I like it better than red.

Wow, the blue is kind of groovy. Kind of soothing. Wonder if it messes with your eyes natural night vision?
