Rifle Scopes When comparing the 5-25's :USO....Premier

[Papa Zero Three]

yep, that's why I'm trying to soak up as much free knowledge as possible regarding ring height... I HATE buying rings and finding out a lower set could've been used with success.

Guys (Jtrax and P03) I appreciate your time in regards to this topic.

No problem. Question for you though, are you using a chassis or stock with an adjustable cheek piece that you can adjust the height on?

OK, you're good to go as long as the obj end doesn't touch the barrel no matter the height it ends up being.

I'm waiting for a high ring from my smith. His medium ring barely cleared the 58" objective of my USO. I think I have 1/16" clearance between the scope objective and the barrel.

Did't read every post but here is a 5-25 on mcmillian a5 m24 profile barrel deviant action low uso rings

For comparison here is a 7mm mag. 26" barrel (hunting) with Razor.

The USO 34mm low rings are 1.065" . So all things considered, a 1" or slightly higher ring to be safe, should work fine. Go with a 1.1xx" ring to give yourself wiggle room unless your one of those who obsess over having the scope as low as possible.

I'm thinking NF 6 screw 1.125"... to be safe.

Thanks guys.

Both are great scopes. I use a few USO myself, I love the EREK elevation turret. At this time my go to rifle scope is still the Premier, the turrets clicks are outstanding, the glass is some of the best on the market, and the GENII XR rocks.

I am in agreement with this ^^ re: USO glass quality at the present time. I primarily run Schmidt 5-25's along with a couple of Premier 5-25's, and March FX 5-40x56. That said, a while back I picked up a USO 5-25x58 Gen II XR. I did not know what to expect as far as glass quality. After many trips to my range and testing the USO in varying conditions against my other scopes, I am I have found my USO to be as good optically as my other scopes. In fact, I've enjoyed this USO so much that I just received my 2nd USO...a 3.2-17x44 GEN II XR.

Say what???? Have I turned you into a USO guy

You must have paid him to take the USO because he definitely wasn't saying this a month ago.

No sir, I can assure you I did not do that. I was never told there was a issue, if there was. I would do everything possible to make it right. Now if you ever want to call and chat or clear any doubts of me before making assumptions. Please do

Whoa Whoa Whoa! I was just joking. Jtrax hasn't ever said anything negative to me about USO other than it being a big scope. He just hasn't sung USO's praises to me like he has recently. He has a LOT of top shelf scopes to play with and I think the fact that he has been using the USO recently and raving about it speaks volumes. Sorry Josh! I didn't mean to stir up anything.
