It is hard to believe that it has already been 20 years; it just seems like yesterday that we were machining parts in our garage at home! Back in 1990 it was my father’s dream to make a rifle scope that would complete the military style rifle, not another hunting scope that was adapted for use. He wanted to make something that you could literally beat the living crap out of something and still be able to use it, as well as visually stimulate the end user.

20 years later we are going stronger than ever and continuing to build one of the most durable scopes in the world. We would like to offer the Hiders a special piece of U.S. Optics collector history with this offering. We will be making 20 units only and they will be marked X of 20 with a special logo and price. These will be available only to the SnipersHide community.

The specifications of the scope are as follows;

SN-3 3.2-17X TPAL
44mm obj.
30mm tube
EREK 1/10MIL Milestone (heavy detent at every 10th click)
U.S.#3 windage, 1/10MIL with stop
GAP MIL Scale reticle
Lit reticle, RED
Internal ACD
Matte Black Type III hard anodizing
2” sunshade w/ARD
USO flip up covers eye and obj.

If you were to purchase this from our custom shop the retail price would be $3091.00. We will be offering only 20 units at a special price of $2500.00. Sorry, no dealers and no discounts. You can either contact the front office with your order, 714-582-1956, or you can send an email to [email protected] to reserve your piece of history.
***Added*** We will also include a 20th Anniversary T-shirt with each scope. Please let us know your size when ordering.

Any clue on expected build time? </div></div>

You can put a down payment if you like, or you can pay in full.

Build time will be 8 weeks max.

Re: 20th Anniversary U.S. Optics Scopes

Wow... 8 weeks and you can own a USO... If only my scope wasn't almost done already... It is pretty much the same as this scope though with minor differences, so I'll be fine with mine.

Congrats John! Here's to another 20 years!

A minor suggestion if I may; I'm somewhat anal about these details. The logo on the side of the bell, the end of the "service" could curve up a bit more to conform to the circle logo. I sat next to Jeff when he was designing my EREK knob cap once so I know the software, and it can definitely be adjusted.

Just my opinion of course.

I would guess you are correct.. Internal Anti Cant Device.

Sweet ass scope!!
 
Re: 20th Anniversary U.S. Optics Scopes

I always put my gear through hard use but your scopes are just works of technical art, so glad I nixed my NXS order and ponied up the cash for your work, congrats...Also are you guys going to be at the Army's International Sniper Comp this year?

Congrats John, you guys deserve all your success.
 
Re: 20th Anniversary U.S. Optics Scopes

I'm in for #2
But I told Ren he was getting booted to # 2 and I was taking #1 because he was too slow on the call in.

Great Deal. Good to see the 20 year mark. My first USO and I will put it thru the test.
 
Re: 20th Anniversary U.S. Optics Scopes

Yeah... Becky warned me that Id better pay up, especially with you trying to bribe her for #1.

Im like a giddy little school girl... cant decide on where to ship, how to pay...lol... Im glad Becky has lots of patience.

Dont worry TDR... you'll soon be selling all of your other optics for more USO... they are like crack.

</div></div>

We do have a special 20th anniversary T-shirt available......hmm maybe I should include one with all of these scopes???

We really wanted to do this for two reasons, one was to honor the company after a hard fought 20 years, but mainly to give you guys a smokin deal to get something that will be a collectors item in the future.

Thank you to all that have posted their congrats, I too wish for another 20+ years!!

Re: 20th Anniversary U.S. Optics Scopes

Happy birthday lads!
If I was back in the desert already this would be on the order list along with the M98B but for now, the thought hurts my wallet!

Most business collapse within the first two years, it's fairly safe to say you're doing something right!
 
Re: 20th Anniversary U.S. Optics Scopes

Hey 96,
It only hurts the wallet once...
Wish I could afford them for all my rifles, but at least the ones I have are nice.

Re: 20th Anniversary U.S. Optics Scopes

first off, congrats on your anniversary, second..boy i sure hope you are as good as some say..i invested 1500.00 on a sn-4s with the custom 3-gun reticle..ive been through trijicon,nightforce,burris and ior..while the ior was nice, it just did not offer what your scope did, and that is that great reticle with a 223 cam turret, especially since its set for 69 gr bullets and thats what i shoot..i have to be honest tho, i had a sn-12 for a short while and wasnt to thrilled with the glass, i sold that and went with others but i'm back with this new offering your making available..i'm crossing my fingers it'll be the one ive been searching for
