If you haven't seen it, check out the USO CQB reticle post. How about it guys, anyone else out there interested? The 1.8-10's have too much going for them not to consider this.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
I (shortly) will have a SN4-150 (1.5-6x) coming with the C2 reticle. I've been waiting for what I would consider a perfect 3-gun scope (ffp, mil/mil based, EREK-equiv turret, mil-reticle that's CQB & 600 yard useful, more mag than 3.5x or 4x) and I think the SN4-150 with the C2 is it. Now, if the SN-3 (1.8-10x) were available with the C2, I might have gone that option instead. Hell, I'm an Open shooter and I have a dot for the 50-yard and in stuff.
In my case I'll probably have a short range upper (SN4-150 w/ C2 + secondary JPoint) and a longer range upper (SN3 w/C2 + secondary JPoint).
A verbose way of saying, I would be in.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Hey guys, here is some food for thought.
I can build the reticle, that isn't a problem, the problem is paying for it. Everytime we make a new reticle it is $1000 for tooling, plus the cost of the reticle.
If you guys REALLY want it, I will split the cost of it. I will pay $500 if you guys can come up with the rest, plus place an order.
Let me know,
John III

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
I am willing to contribute. If we can come up with a few other guys and a good number would you be willing to add it to the build price or do you need it up front?

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
I am willing to contribute as well. All the moreso if the numbers get big enough to drive that contribution under $100@.
If it's just DarkHorse and me, and an immediate order is required (my gun fund is low due to a yesterday SN4-150 order), I feel cold feet coming on.
But, let's see if there is more interest than two of us.
And, once I get my SN4-150 with the C2, a good number of 3gunners will be able to touch, look, feel, try. That may bring in more numbers.
Still, JWIII, I appreciate your support and realities of running a business.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Just the fact that he is willing to absorb half the cost to make this happen is proof enough what kind of a business they are. They are without peer in the tactical scope world, IMO.
We really only need 3 more guys to do this..$100 per guy gets it done, hell aren't some of their reticles $86.00 anyway?

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Yes, if you guys all get together and order the scopes that the reticle will go in and we just add the price onto the order, that will work for me.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
I felt the need to exhume this from its shallow grave before it becomes lost. Anyone else looking for a 1.8-10 USO should check out the C2 reticle thread on here. We need enough people to contribute or no reticle.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
This thread is for just scaling the "C2" reticle? I'm curious, because Doc seems to imply that he has a slightly-different-but-even-better design specifically for the 1.8-10x:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> That [C2] reticle is specific to the 1.5 - 6X... I do have a design that is similar for the .... 1.8 - 10X (that one has ANOTHER special feature) </div></div>
I realize that I could be splitting the group's focus by bringing it up and to make amends I will make the following offer:
I will put up $100 towards the scaling of the C2 reticle <span style="font-weight: bold">OR</span> I will put up $500 towards Doc's 1.8-10x-specific design, and I will buy one scope either way you guys choose to go.
What say you?

We'll have to wait and see if John and Doc are on board... Whether I understood Doc correctly in his reference to the other design and its availability and whether John likes the design and is willing to back it with his $500.
For my part, if Doc needs some time to finish polishing this design I can wait. I remember how long it took to finish the IOR Snipers Hide reticle…

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
I'm sure Doc will chime in soon but when I was talking to him about the C2 reticle in general, we chatted about the 1.8-10. He was asking me some 3-gun ranges and other applications in terms of optimizing the reticle thickness. (In the CO 3-gun bigger matches, we do shoot longer ranges -- out to 600 yds). He also mentioned the large circle disappearing above mid-level magnifications.
You're correct that when we used 'C2' in the above post we were using it from a concept perspective. It's whatever Doc designs optimized for that higher mag range. The same exact C2 reticle would likely be too thick at 10x.
I'm not in a huge hurry either.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Been off line for a few days, down hard w/ the flu and associated recoveries.
The C2-10X is alive and well the question being "Who is going to buy it?" I have my ideas but I need to discuss things with the powers that be to achieve the optimal configuration. 1.5-6 was easy (er) but the 10X brings a whole different train of thought to the game.
Put your ideas up as to what you might like. You never know what will fall out of the east coast skunk works

Doc

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Signed up on SH just for this. Been a long time lurker.
Just ordered a USO 1.8-10x today with the JNG MIL for an SPR build. Ink on the check is still wet. If this reticule doesn't significantly delay my order, sign me up because its not too late for me to change reticules. I'm not sure how far along it's development is for the SN-3.
The C2 circle on the 1-6x is the reason I chose the similar JNG MIL over the GAP or MPR, which is microscopic at 1.8x. The C2 is much cleaner without the giant numbers and has a cleaner S&B-style P4 central crosshair at the high end which I like.
I'm not sure how far along it is but please keep us posted!

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
To my knowledge this is only something being talked about at this point. Until it becomes a regular option through USO we are looking for contributions to develop it. John from USO has gone out of his way to move forward with this including splitting the cost of development, I feel it would be a nice gesture for anyone interested in this for a current build to contribute something. You can pm myself, KevinTM, k2speaker, or John and Doc from USO to find out more details.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Gent's,
Just got done talking w/ C2. We're going to do the 1.8 - 10!!!!!
Now all I have to do is polish up the reticle and make sure it works right. For all you guys that are interested we're going to kick it off with a group buy out of the box for it.
So here's the deal, I'll finish up the reticle and get it to John who will get it to the engineer who will then get it built. So it will take about 2 mos or so until the reticles are made. Once they come in we'll be looking at a special run and John will be able to give a time line on that.
We'll need about 10 scopes to make it work.
Cheers,
Doc

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Doc,
Unless you have received pm's from guys other than the ones directly involved in this thread, that only means 4 scopes. We are willing to split up the remaining balance to make this happen. Please let us know as I have a current 1.8-10 build that I would like to have the reticle installed in.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Yeah, mark me down as one of the takers. I just placed a 1.8-10 order and got Jeff to put a note for the C2 on there since this is going to become a reality. I'm hoping we can get a few more guys onboard to ease development cost per-person!
Doc, any ideas you have on additions/changes from the existing C2 thats optimized for the 1-6? Hoping to see what the "special feature" is that you were contemplating on the USO CQB thread.
I'm not sure if the S&B-style P4 smallish central crosshair design is there to say, but maybe a small half-mil hash would help for wind lead. Otherwise there is a 1 mil jump from center to the first hash where the main crosshair starts.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Guys, I can confirm Doc's post. C2 Shooting Center will sponser the production of this reticle and shall have scopes produced for sale. The reticle/scope shall be part of the "C2 Tactical" productline. I am in Virginia Beach now and was able to look at and work with the 1.5-6x C2 Tactical scope. Mine is an EREK version. The reticle works great as a rapid range finding reticle with the ability to quickly range targets with no math from 12 to 500 yards and can be "learned" by the average guy. It has always been my desire to provide the to in country guys deployed in the fight as a tool of the trade. The 1.8-10 is the next step for a longer range more detailed calcutive mission profle. I look foward to getting them to market. I must say here that US optics is the scope and company to put this together. I hope we can continue to work together to get this task accomplished. Don't get me wrong either it is not for the money. I love my 15 or so S&B's like many of you long range guys, but this is the combo to for this scope. The 1.8-10x will happen just as the 1.5-6x did. You have my word. The 1.5-6x prototypes are here and are about to be released for production. I also have 8 various varients in stock that just came in. You can call the store @ 757-426-9953
Stay Safe........

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Keep us posted on the reticule design changes on the 1.8-10x compared to the 1-6x. I can't wait to see the preliminary design and see it finalized and ready for the first production run!

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Hey Doc, I agree with Sponge's comment. It would be nice to have the .5 mil hash on the 1.8-10x. Application: picturing a 425 yd. shot on a prairie dog (target) at full 10x with some cross wind (half value-ish). At the max width that's about 6" of target.
Timing on the group buy sounds great to me -- I'm still 100% behind it.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Looks like myself, k2peaker, and Dark Horse are committed. JerryR seems ready for one as well. That makes at least 4. Do we actually need a full 10 folks for the first production run or is it possible to still do it with higher cost-per-unit? Rock1911 will probably keep one or two of them at C2 Shooting Center I'm guessing but that's only roughly half of the 10 scope figure.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Tag for interest in the group buy. I have a USO quote for a 1.8-10x that I didn't move forward on because of the lack of reticle selection for what I needed. Am definitely liking the C2 but would love to see the rescaled version to know if it will work for my application.

I think the reticule design is independent from other build options like T-PAL/fixed/ERGO and the group buy is mainly to get cost down for developing the reticule pattern. Will have to wait for one of the project staff to verify.

They need to get a MOA one, I'll be on board then. Very nice reticle for mils though.
Looks like it'll be JNG MOA for a while!!

The reticles, from my understanding, are either designed for a TPAL scope or not. They are specific to the scope designs just as the reticles are designed for certain magnification ranges.

Good to hear. I believe the extended range of this particular scope will require a parallax adjustable scope, thus necessitating the use of a TPAL. A fixed 100 yard parallax/focus just won't cut it.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Is there a solid, repeatable one-piece QD scope mount that works with the TPAL? I was hoping to use a Larue SPR mount for mine since I am initially going to use it on an SPR build. I'm guessing the TPAL drives up price too. I currently have the ERGO option on my order spec.
I've seen people that like the ERGO more and those that like the TPAL more. That's something that can't be changed down the road once installed.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
cesium if you go the tpal route a larue spr mount is out as of now. the only larue mount that will fit it is the larue lt111 and i don't think its on the website yet. it wasn't when i bought mine you have to call and ask. its about 245 and is very nice as with all larue mounts. you have to have more room for the tpal so keep that in mind when buying

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
I've taken a look at the LT111 on their site, but I was under the impression a forward offset was necessary for proper eye relief on a flat top unless you're running a continuous upper rail past the receiver (I am not).
One area of hesitation is the LT111 is machined for 34mm tubes and uses a 30mm step-down adapter. I'm not sure if the additional spacer introduces a potential risk of slippage versus direct ring-on-scope clamping just because it's an extra part in the food chain. It might be an unfounded fear.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
All,
USO doesn't have a Posa-Lock to fit the T-PAL's yet but Nick is supposed to be working on one. IRRC you need 2.5" between rings to fit them. I used an Armalite 22 to mount a 1.8 - 10X T-PAL on my AR-10 worked very well.
Initial indications is the C2 10X will be a T-PAL. We asked about a 44mm objective but I'll let JBW#3 tell you all why that doesn't work.
The initial reticle designs are to Kent for approval. There were some engineering hurdles that had to be worked out. I'll ask him about the .5 hash or something similar.
Right Parallax and Left Windage will be an option.
Cheers,
Doc

Initial indications is the C2 10X will be a T-PAL. We asked about a 44mm objective but I'll let JBW#3 tell you all why that doesn't work.
The initial reticle designs are to Kent for approval. There were some engineering hurdles that had to be worked out. I'll ask him about the .5 hash or something similar.
Right Parallax and Left Windage will be an option.
Cheers,
Doc

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Doc, is there a price change from a 1.8-10x44mm ERGO to the 1.8x10x37mm? Seems like the TPAL adds some complexity but the objective size drops too and I already specced the ERGo addition. I'm going to let Jeff or Becky know the correction since I do have a very newly ordered USO scope that awaits the C2 and need to make any corrective changes before its too late.
Ignore the above, noticed TPAL upgrade is $200 so it shouldn't change things since I already have the ERGO upcharge. Oh well, at least changing to TPAL means I get to buy a brand new posa-lock product!

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
Just to add a few things since you guys have been asking.
The 10X ERGO/fixed parallax scope uses a different reticle than the 10X TPAL scopes.
Fixed magnification and variable use the same reticle patterns.
We can make a reticle for each, but the same thing as before, the reticle tooling runs a little over $1000. So if there isn't a huge demand for each type, then we won't bother spending the money on making it. If there is someone, or several individuals that want to split the cost of the tooling, we are cool.
Sorry Doc, don't want to step on your toes, just getting calls here at the shop.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
JBW, I've contacted Jeff and switched from ERGO to the TPAL setup so I'm good to go. Looks like TPAL is preferred overall and I gladly switched for the C2 reticle.

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
No worries John, I'm fielding calls on this side too
Had one today about putting the C2 in a fixed six. From your post it's doable

Re: C2 Reticle for 1.8-10
I am trying to gather info for computing clearances for mounting on a flat top when I get this 1.8-10x37mm TPAL
Besides the 1-pc upcoming Posa-lock, and a couple other solid 1-pc units, I was looking at the option of a base like a Badger or Larue unit with with rings like a Seekins. I need some measurements to determine the correct clearances and height.
I need:
-to know the 37mm objective's overall outer diameter for clearance of the rifle. It is my understanding that the wall thickness of the tubing is substantial for it's ruggedness.
-to know the largest outer diameter of the ocular/lowpro eyepiece housing to see if it will clear a KAC 600m BUIS underneath.
-to know how tall the TPAL turret block is. Since it protrudes below the 30mm tube a bit, I want to see if I still have clearance between the TPAL and the base/riser for mounting a cant or angle indicator.
Info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Cesium,
Lucky I was at work this morning!
Obj. OD= 1.850"
OD of variable power collar= 1.860"
The bottom of the turret block protrudes 0.135" further than the 30mm diameter, or the whole turret block is 1.455".
You might need this as well; length of turret block= 2.875"
Mountable area on 30mm tube; front= 1.335", rear= 1.800".
Go get the calipers!

JBW#3, you are awesome! I have my trusty Mitutoyo calipers. Time to do some number crunching to see what works!
