Finally got the new US Optics TXH 3-18x50

[coldboremiracle]

Been waiting on this one since SHOT Show, I've been playing with it for a week now on my WLVRN, and I absolutely love it. I am really getting hooked on this 3-18 power range. Features on this thing are pretty awesome, love the turret design, clarity, and 34mm. I was shocked at the sticker price under $600. I'll be doing a full review soon. Check out turrets here

Looks good from the outside... no info at all on USO's website.

Would like to see a pic of the reticle, especially at 3x.

PS that Wolverine paintjob is SICK!

Thanks! I'll get some reticle pics ASAP. This is the MHR2 reticle.

Dunno, but I'm sure its overseas

Seeing as it looks and priced similar to the Bushnell/Vortex Chinese scopes I would bet china.

 

[rothgyr]

I would imagine it's the same OEM in China that does all their TS scopes. From the sounds of it, it should be priced a bit closer to what a Chinese scope should be priced at. I think some of their TS series pricing has always seemed optimistic unless you're buying from Eurooptic.

I know it sounds really basic of me, but I've always kind of hated the looks of the TS scopes' turrets. This has a better look to it. I'm curious if it's NRL22 worthy, or if it's got a crazy high minimum parallax.

I love both of my USO FDNs but wish USO would have its other scopes done by non-CHICOMs.

Their IG post about it (~6 months ago lol) stated a 10y parallax.

Can Confirm, parallax down to 10y. And it looks good, even at 18X from one end of my deck to the other.

Here is the HMR2 at 3 and 18X, phone pics not as clear as I'd like.

That sounds pretty optimal for a PRS22 scope to me.

 

[rothgyr]

Did they do the zero-stop-kills-the-2nd-rev like in the ts?

 

[Rob01]

That sounds pretty optimal for a PRS22 scope to me.

Not to me with only 18x top end and no tree reticle. Parallax is fine but only one of the parts of the puzzle. 18x can be workable but there are targets that need a higher power for a more precise shot. The lack of a tree or hold under marks is a deal breaker for me.

Definitely unique spacing on the reticle.

Yeah, looks like they went back to the old MGR .2/.3 spacing. I’ve never liked the MGR because of that, strongly preferring the GAP with logical .5 spacing instead.

Do THAT many people like that wonky crap, or have they just not learned their lesson? Give us .2 or .25 line spacing and call it good!

 

[drglock]

It looks like a rebranded Vector Optics scope.

I believe the JVCR reticle will also be available in this scope.

 

[ma smith]

fuck that reticle...wtf ? asymetric ? unlabeled ? .2/.3 hash-marks

 

[rothgyr]

I believe the JVCR reticle will also be available in this scope.

Thank heavens. Looks like they took the OG MHR and crapped on it. That spacing (like the MGR) is just useless noise. The OG MHR makes sense and I wish they'd put it in their FDN 10X. I strongly prefer it over the GAP reticle I have in my FDN.

It's just mind boggling to me that you can have an optics company make something as awesome and legible as the JVCR, and the exact opposite in a reticle and people actually buy it.

Just had a preliminary range trip with a new FDN17X and do love.

I regret selling mine.

I put mine on my Dad's old Ruger M77 when I rebuilt it. Turned out pretty awesome, and it turns chucks inside out
