I have a Gen 2 DPMS recon and looking at grabbing one of these scopes for the build, as well as adding a RMR on the front of the mount. Anyone get their hands on one of these scopes? Word on the street is they are a great scope for the money and great for keeping the build light.

thanks for the video, love me some 8541 Tactical, didn't know it was SFP, that drops it off the list.

I had one I traded a CZ for. It was still brand new and never mounted. I was rather impressed even though I am not a huge Leupy fan in the first place. Clear glass, nice tight fire dot, fairly nice adjustments. Very nice scope for the money if your application requires a 3x9.

If you're strictly looking to FFP then you're really going to be looking at a Vortex 2.5-10x32 PST or I would suggest looking at a straight fixed 10x with either SWFA or the USO ST-10 (disclaimer: The ST-10 is the only USO I'll ever recommend these days).

What is up with USO? are the having QC issues?

I have a vortex 6-24x50 MRAD with the EBR-2C enroute on a custom bolt gun. I'll be shooting that with in days. I was considering the 2.5-10 as well, its on the top of my list actually, but was just seeing others opinions on different products. I think that 2-10 would be great with the RMR as well for its intended DMR roll. I want all my rifles to be fighting rifles, that's just the good ole 03 in me.

SR6 that I own is just fine. Better than any Vortex I've used. It also boils down to personal preference. All these advisements are really just opinions.

They've had some issues since they've gone to the newer business model of more mass produced and less custom. I had one which kept having to get fixed, and another one which the reticle cracked and it took almost 2 months to get it replaced. There's been some issues with the glass not being as clear as some other manufacturers out there at 1/2 the price.

Better than a Razor? I have to disagree man. I've had both and side by side the Razor was better. I liked USO 5 years ago and they have options like the internal bubble level, but for the cost and less custom more mass produced I think there's better glass out there for considerably less.

Better yet... Go to a PRS or TRL match and look at the line. You won't see many USO's anymore other than a couple guys who are sponsored, and I've seen their other rigs which aren't wearing USO.

Just stop already...we already beat this like a dead horse! Different strokes for different folks.....as I've stated each time. Yet you have to throw in the same diatribe. And yes I stand by my statements but like I've said I'm only basing my opinions on call of duty and milsim.

I was a huge Vortex fan and I still own a few of their optics. A Viper PST 1-4 and a original Razor 1-4. While the glass itself is OK, they both have had multiple issues after a few years of very light use. The Viper has been serviced once for internal fogging issues and it now has the same issue again. The Razor's illumination is stuck on the highest intensity for the third time in 2 years and the zoom ring almost needs two hands to move it. I bet it has not been used 10 times since I bought it. I still kick myself for even spending $1100 on it when the prices fell with the 1-6 release. Only paid a few hundred more for a NF NXS and it is 10 times the scope that Razor is. Their warranty and CS is fantastic but it is only a band aid for average optics that are way overpriced IMO. FFP is way over rated on optics with a low starting zoom power or a very wide range. The ERB556 reticle just looks like a standard crosshair missing the top of the cross on the Razor until you get out to the upper end of the range. No better usability than the 2ndFP Viper.

I'm having a discussion and you're resorting to calling my opinion/experience nothing but diatribe, and inferring that I'm calling you a video game player because I didn't agree with you. You said you compared it to Vortex but didn't state which mode, so I asked rather than just assuming. Maybe you should re-read what I actually wrote without interjecting whatever biased you have against me and making assumptions. The guy asked a question and I responded. You made a comment and I responded with a dissenting opinion. Sorry I won't just ignore someones opinion without interjecting a different opinion all for the sake of sparing someones feeling because they assume too much.
