Re: What 5-25x scope? Premier, S&B or USO?
I don't post much on here any more but thought I'd chime in on this one. I have no experience with Premier or S&B but have owned a couple of US Optics scopes. The glass on my USO was the best I’ve ever owned. I’ve looked through the new S&B and to be honest I couldn’t tell the difference between my USO glass and the S&B.
At the end of the day all three of those scopes are tough as nails with incredible optics. I’d toss S&B out of the equation for the sole reason of repair times and having to send my scope overseas to be repaired.
My vote goes to USO because of the features they offer and the best customer service I’ve experienced. My first USO scope came with the wrong reticle. A call to USO and they immediately apologized for the mix up. I was told they were finishing a military contract and it would be a couple of weeks before they could replace my scope. John told me to keep the scope I have. Since my scope issue wasn't a repair or warranty issue to go ahead and mount it, use it and if necessary abuse it and they would send me a new one after they full field their military contract. Try as I might, I couldn’t scratch the SSDS scope. True to John’s word a new scope arrived 3+ weeks later with a shipping label to send the old scope back.
The other reason I’d still go with USO over everyone else besides the best customer support in the industry, they offer custom options the other scope manufactures don’t. You can pretty much build the scope of your dreams with USO.
Hope it helps.
