Re: USO 44mm Objectives
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ArcticLight</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I picked up this 44mm sunshade, a USOptics, from Will -
Now I have an ST-10, and it's like a 50mm objective.
This 44mm is right nice, lower profile.
I saw on their website that the new ST-10 is a 37mm objective....
They making the ST-10 smaller now?
It may be time to change out scopes!
Love to get a lower profile scope in fixed 10x.. </div></div>
The 37mm Objective is an option on the ST10 and SN-3 1.8-10X scopes. It looks like USO is updating info on their site, and there is still lots of info left blank. The specs on the front page of the
<span style="font-weight: bold">ST-10 10X</span> are currently blank, so the only way to find-out about the 37mm Objective option is to go to the
<span style="font-weight: bold">SN-3 1.8-10X</span>, click on
<span style="font-weight: bold">"Options & Upgrades"</span>, click-on
<span style="font-weight: bold">"Objective"</span>, then click-on the
<span style="font-weight: bold">"Details"</span> button in the "Objective 37mm" box. There you will see:
<span style="font-weight: bold">Type: Objective
Name: 37mm
Price: 0.00
Description
The 37mm objective is optional on the SN-3 1.8-10X and ST10 models. The front of the objective is threaded for use with a sunshade, ARD or optical filter.</span>

The inside diameter of the sunshade is 44mm... </div></div>
Yes, Grasshopper, the <span style="font-weight: bold">Objective diameter refers to the lens diameter</span>, <span style="font-style: italic">not the diameter of the Objective Bell</span>.
