Well I know this subject has been beat to death and I have read A LOT, but I have specific questions and this is a very big decision for me so I will say thanks in advance for any useful opinions.
I am buying a DTA SRS chassis that I will shoot at least 3 calibers on (.308, 338 Lapua, and hopefully 6.5x47). I am basically going for my ultimate set up, which leads me to finding the best glass.
I pretty much narrowed it down to USO or S&B. I have never looked through either. I don't know anyone who has one and there are no vendors in my area.
If I go with USO it will be a SN3 Tpal 5-25x58 35mm tube with Mil MPR reticle. The S&B would be a 5-25x56 PM II with a P4 or P4 fine. Does anyone think the large objectives will give problems mounting low enough on the SRS for a good cheek weld? Since both of these scopes are way expensive price really makes no difference. From what I have read USO seems to be as durable as they come, while problems with the S&B have popped up more frequently. I have also seen talk that S&B glass is better than USO's. I know this is subjective but would appreciate the opinions of people who have experience with these specific scopes. I know the people who own 4 S&B and looked through their buddies USO one time are going to say that the S&B's are much better so I would like to hear from people who have extensive time looking through both in multiple conditions(still want to hear from others as well). I know which ever I decide to buy will be great, but I want as many reviews and stories before making this investment.
Also what would be good 30 moa base/rings to go with these scopes and the SRS?
thanks for info
