Out of all of USO's lines about the only one I would choose again would be another ST-10. I've owned several and they have great reticle options, including the internal bubble level which is awesome, but the glass just isn't as good as other lines out there for less money. My biggest issue with them is their electronics just can't handle the beating. I had to have my illumination controls replaced several times because it would just quit working. My other concern is they keep changing business models and moving farther away from a completely custom glass shop which they used to be to more of a production line stamping them out.

I appreciate the feedback. In my never-ending Google searches, when USO comes up, I end up finding two basic reactions to them: 1) They're awesome but expensive, and 2) basically issues like yours. Obviously it's the internet, but when you start to see repeated, separate accounts...

I really want one of these to check out. I'm thinking for entry level 3 gun optic it will be successful or I would also see using it on my22 trainer. I really like vortex as a company and like how they back up their products. They also take good care of LE too.

If you were to go to a PRS match and look at the line, what you'll see right now is that most of the shooters using USO are sponsored. They used to be a go to for a lot of guys, then John went off onto other projects and they changed their business model. I don't pay much attention to the internet anymore because if I did then according to everyone all Vortex products are garbage and Leupold is still king which just isn't true. If you ever get a chance I still think the best way to gauge a product is to get hands on comparison.

You can disagree all you want but since I've actually owned 2 USO's, used the Razors in both Gen 1 and 2, and I've used the Bushnell XRS, and actually employed them to 1k+ then I think I'm entitled to my opinion. And if you want to argue in the same price bracket then there's Kahles, Nightforce, and for a little more S&B.

Well thanks for giving me permission. I almost thought I crossed the line....you know disagreeing with you and all. I don't really have any blasters, but I have a few airsoft and I play lots of Call of Duty and Modern Warfare all day in my lair in my Mom's basement. I mean c'mon it's pretty much the same thing. With all my trigger time behind my super special sniper rig for milsim on Saturdays, I've tried them all.

The Strike Eagle should be a great varmint scope! And if the BDC makes no sense to you,ignore it and use MOA for your longer shots-this scope has 280 MOA,which will be about as awesome as it gets for an "up-clicker"

Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6 BDC
Anyone heard about this?
Midway has it for $329 but it's backordered due to pre release or something. Vortex's site is listing "Coming Soon" but then has customer pics of the scopes in their possession.
Looks awesome. Same weight as the PA 1-6x ACSS but has a lifetime warranty

I was looking at them a while back when I was scope shopping. Back then they were saying 'they should arrive in a few months' so if they are not here yet, they are pretty close.
I am reading up on the reticule to see how it's calibrated.
Shooting 69's can be way off at distances if it's set up for 55's. One of the downsides to a BDC reticule...
