Rifle Scopes USO 1.8x10 Tpal Issues?

[Sniper1*]

I have had mine for a while now and am finally putting it through the paces. Any way, vertical tracking drill, I dial 6 iphy, I get 5 the rest as follows:

dial 12 - get 10.5
20 - 17.75
30 - 26.25
40 - 33.375
50 - 43.25
60 - 52.25
70 - 61.25

That breaks down to roughly .21875 per click or .875 (7/8") iphy per 4 clicks.

Anyone else found this or have you checked?

Ugh. Call USO and talk to them, if your measurements are correct, it's a very big difference. If the clicks are within 2% of the right adjustment, I'm happy, but yours appear to be way off.

OEJ,
I have run this test twice now and both time been very close to the same results. Significantly short of 1 IPHY per 4 clicks at 100 yards.

I have spoken to JBW#3 and it is packaged and ready to return at his request.

I am sure he will get it squared away in the typical USO fashion.

Just sucks to wait so long for it, take the time to get used to it and now send it back!

I will have to go back to shooting the AI/USO combo. Hmmm! Doesn't seem so bad when I put it that way.

Any way, I will let you know how it turns out.

JBW#3 had the idea it maybe had the wrong knobs installed for a different power scope. ???????

We will see!

It's likely to be something like John suggested, and a very quick fix. Post the result when USO figures it out.

Heard from USO (JBW#3) today! He said that the knobs were off and that he would get them switched out and sent back.

Glad to hear that it wasn't me on this one.

Thanks USO! CS is great and the gear is great! I know this is unusual for you guys.

Look forward to getting it back!

Re: USO 1.8x10 Tpal Issues?

So are you getting new erector stuff so it tracks in IPHY like you ordered, or new knobs to match what the scope adjusts?

Re: USO 1.8x10 Tpal Issues?

Well I guess I would assume erectors to track IPHY like I ordered.
But maybe I should clarify with USO.
Thanks for pointing that out!

Talked to Jeff @ USO. They are replacing the knobs to track correctly and read correctly!

Thanks guys!

Re: USO 1.8x10 Tpal Issues?

I figured as much, but also figured it would be worth clarifying.
I'm sure they'll have you squared away in no time. Their CS has been perfect whenever I've used it!

Re: USO 1.8x10 Tpal Issues?

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out! Now I have peace of mind again!

Turns out that your 1.8-10X TPAL was the very 1st one built besides a couple of prototypes.

Re: USO 1.8x10 Tpal Issues?

That is very cool to know. I wondered what the serial # meant. Wasn't sure if that was the 105 scope built for the year or 105 of the 1.8x10 tpal run. May be wrong on both.

Thanks for letting me know that John.
