Thats a bullshit cop out. Its not black or white. Everything fails, but not at the same rate. Leupolds fail at a much higher rate than Razors. NF/ZCO/Tangent fail at a pretty low rate. Saying they all fail is just ignorance and whitewashing the issue.
USO has a 20 year history putting out shit. There was a time when there two "Alpha" scope choices were a S&B PM2 or a USO. They were super popular here in the early 00's, back when George (who is dead now I think, and owned USO) posted on the Hide, before the scout days. There just weren't any good options. You had MK4 which was the standard back then, but they had their own issue. Premier did the conversions putting a better reticle into the MK4 before they came out with their line (that eventually turned into TT). IOR had not proven it self to be the piece of shit they are yet, so a ton of us ran them because the glass was superb and the reticles/features were great for the time. SuperSnipers were the cheap popular scope. USO was the only place you could order custom shit. Want a custom reticle? Design it and pay the fee. Custom turrets, illum, ect. Then they just stopped innovating. Other than coming out with the first real 1-8 dfp that actually worked, they slowly died out. They were notorious for for reticle failure and debris inside the scope. It was so bad people just stopped buying their shit, except for those who bought shit based on reputation from years ago. Guys migrated to S&B, Premier before they went tits up, Vortex came out with the razor and guys were still running SFP NXS before the ATACR/Beast came out. The company was eventually sold and most of their shit ended up being Chinese until they started to re-release their "flagship" scopes which don't look much different then shit designed over 20 years ago, at prices that rival the top alphas on the market.
USO is dead. They sponser a few shooters, and some of their dick hangers still run stuff becuase a legend like vibbert does. Some guys have owned them for 20 years and dont see a reason to change. But for anyone not already invested in them, they are a really poor choice that is going to cost them more money in the long run. Guys are lucky to get half price on the used market of what a new one costs today. No one wants that shit.
