Rifle Scopes USO TS 3-12 anything else comparable?

[101stinfantry]

I HATE the fact that it is made in China, but it's close to what I want, compact 3-12 power range, 30mm tube, mil/mil, ffp, and a fairly useable reticle. Is there anything else even remotely comparable (not made in China)? It would replace a Bushnell Nitro 2.5-10 on a Howa 300bo mini-action, I would stick with it, but the damn thing is almost as long as the rifle. Only other thing I've found is maybe the NF 2-10, and I think it is SFP.

Sure, a March 1.5-15 at 6 times the price.

Lol! Thanks steve I actually hadn't seen that one. I think I'll just get a PST Gen II, or a NF SHV, and deal with the things I don't like. I would consider the March, but my wife thinks we need a new A/C unit. First world problems, and all that.

Might consider the SWFA 3-9x42 with a zero stop kit from TimK. Its Japanese produced and $600 brand new.

There's a new Athelon that's supposed to be released next month, but it's chimcom as well

Athlon Optics Helos BTR GEN2 2-12x42 AHMR2 FFP IR MIL #214105​

Steiner -$1850 @ EuroOptic
I used a friend's and it's GTG. Tracks solid unlike the early versions.

PST Gen2 $900

Both ends of the spectrum under $2k

Isn’t the March 2nd focal plane?

Isn’t the March 2nd focal plane?

It is. I just meant close to the size of the USO 3-12.

SWFA 3-9 100000% if you don’t want illum.

SWFA 3-9x42
Primary Arms GLx 2.5-10x42
Athlon Helos 2-12x42

I have the first two here and the USO 3-12x44. Once the Athlon gets here, I plan to do a comparison.

They are getting a little hard to find, but the Weaver Tactical 2-10x36 was a fine scope. Mil/Mil FFP

That’s also a fine scope

Trijicon Credo 2-10x36 looks to be an updated version of that.

Picked up the USO TS 3-12x and mounted it on a 24" AR. I like the dot in the middle of the reticle, and it has enough reticle to use it in PRS. Glass is good, not great of course, but for $350 it's a good deal IMO. No zero stop and only 5 mils per rotation, so just have to pay attention more when spinning dials.

Did this happen?

SWFA 3-9x42

Athlon Helos 2-12x42

@koshkin ^^^^^

I still do not have the Helos here.

Following, I just got one of those new Helos and I have a problem - I like variety, but I can't find a reason to not have one of them for every rifle that calls for this type of scope. It is fantastic so far.
