How about this;
We are actually made in the US, really we are.....come look at the facility. Go take a look at the others that claim to be made in the US.
All assembly is also done right here in the same building by skilled technicians with many years experience in the optical industry.
We are manufacturing in the worst state possible and we don't pass this along to our customers, we eat it out of our own pockets in wages. None of us here make anything close to what we should, but we do it for the love of the business.
We are a relatively newer company, being started in 1990, then I took it over in 2004 where the growth really started to happen.
In contrast our prices have not gone up much in the years that we have been in business. As our production levels have increased, our cost of production has decreased and I have passed the savings onto the consumer by not raising prices.
We are not a stagnant company; we are constantly refining our products and spending much needed revenue on R&D projects.
Come January our ISO 9001 certification will be completed, these processes are already streamlining our production procedures as well as our QC procedures.
FX1- it is obvious that you don't like us/me, so why don't you just go buy which ever scope you like and don't bother ever ordering anything from us......everyone will be happy.
Happy Thanksgiving!

OH really.
So the fact that Zeiss and S&B are made in one of the most expensive countries in the world with one of the worst exchange rates on top of the huge R&D and lab costs that you dont have along with all their engineers and staff costs but still manage to get these scopes to the "world" market for the same price you do has no bearing at all?
i have no problem with you actual scopes i just said they wasnt in the same league as a Hendsolt and a S&B.
What i do have a problem is with your marketing tactics which obviously consists of a number of people who are pretty much paid to defend your products and influence the opinion of what is essentially a forum.
It seems these people are very fast to chip in when something negative comes to light about a USO scope, only to try and discredit the individual for the bad press.
One guy defending USO had "Freelance Marketing and Sales" in his employment details on this forum. Its not a hard stretch to imagine whats going on here is it?
if your products are so good and are worth the $3200 you charge for them why not let them speak for themselves. </div></div>
I understand John defending himself/his company, but everyone else, for the love of the internet, STOP FEEDING THE TROLL!
ETA: Can we just start a petition for him to be banned?
