    A while back, John at USO sent me the original PSR Submission Scope from US Optics to have a look at. This video is just a quick look, focusing in the new Illumination USO is moving too, which is a nice upgrade to the old style.

    Not a lot of details, just a bit of fun with it and our Accuracy International 300WM.

    Scope is a 5-25X by 56, surprisingly light for as long as it is. Mil / Mil with a zero stop, Gen 2 XR reticle, it was really fun to play with.

    Especially since it was serial number 000000000001

    it was a short trip, but definitely looking forward to the production models.

    The PSR spec calls for locking windage and elevation turrets, so that the scope can be locked at zero and the knobs not moved without unlocking them.

    Does this scope lock the knobs?

    A couple things.

    1. That scope looks HUGE even on the AW.

    2. What did you think of the Click/Clunk? Did it Clunk every Mil? It's kinda hard to see in the vid.

    3. I really appreciate the bit of the online lesson you gave us at the end of the vid. I think I may have to sign up for that.

    Thanks Frank.

    USO holds the patent on the double detent for all the scopes. Whether premier or S&B, they designed and patented it. So it works as expected. What do I think, well I have never had an issue without it, and in fact in some cases I think it is a pain to have it then get 2.1 mils, because the clunk wants you to over shoot the first click, but this was good.

    The scope is very long, but actually much lighter than it looks. I said something about the size when I spoke them. Really they wanted me to try the illumination which is why I focused on that. I didn't use any locks on it.

    Is this not just a T-PAL, or is the PSR designation just for the military contract?

    Has the tunneling at min power been addressed?
     
    Re: Quick Look **USO PSR Scope

    I have no clue,

    I just played with it a bit and focused on the illumination, I had to send it back pretty quick because they need it as it is was the first. They said hey check out our illumination and let us know what you think.

    I didn't have the time to get too detailed as it was a busy time... so, like a said, a "quick look" and not a detailed look...

    John would have to answer the bulk of the questions.

    The PSR is the designation for the SOCOM contract that we are submitting for, PSR= Precision Sniper Rifle.

    The tunneling is a direct result of the travel of the erector, this is inherit in all of our variable power optics.

    Very very cool. I'm fortunate enough to be running one of the prototypes of the first USSOCOM PSR submissions built by USO and love it!
    Little differences form the one reviewed here, but they definitely kick ass!

    Yes sir.
