Rifle Scopes NF combo vs USO combo

[inferno218]

I am looking for some opinions for two new scopes.

The guns will be a KAC LPR and a 6.5 CM bolt gun.

The NF scopes I am looking at are:
Beast for the 6.5
NXS 2.5-10x42 for the KAC
- I realize that neither of these are out in the public yet and I would be waiting a while for both...

The USO scopes I am looking at are:
5-25 w/iphy ret for the 6.6
1.8-10 w/iphy ret for the KAC
- The bonus to USO currently is that they would be available to me much sooner.

- I want to stay with MOA or IPHY, FFP is a must on the 5-25, but not for the KAC.
- It looks like price will be very close when it is all said and done. Beast cost more that USO 5-25 and USO 1.8-10 cost more than NF 2.5-10 so cost is a wash.
- I would like to stay with the same manufacture for simplicity.

Any thoughts?

S&B 5-25x for the 6.5 Creed. I've looked through both a S&B 5-25x and a USO 5-25x (same time, same light, both new scopes), sort of a big diff. in clarity.


Nightforce 2.5-10x for the KAC LPR. I'm not wild about the size of the T-Pal housing on a 10x scope. USO doesn't make the SN-3s anymore (1.8-10x, with ERGO parallax), and that is a fucking shame.



Good luck.

Never thought I'd be forced to recommend NF over USO but as things now stand that is what I'd do. I've got several USO scopes and still love them, they are all ergo SN-3 1.8-10X44 or 3.2-17X44 with one SN4 1.5-6. Only thing I'd suggest you consider is, do you really need that much power on either of these rifles. For a quick AR less is more when it comes to power, 1-6 is the sweet spot. For the bolt rifle would the F1 3.5-15 work? Just throwing it out there, your choices would sure work fine and be bitchin scopes.

+1 one on that recommendation.
