Now that shot show is under way, is there any more info/pics about the dfp red dot 1-8 SR-8 from US Optics? I have been waiting for this baby for a while now and have some money burning a hole in my pocket! Any idea when we can put in orders for these?
 
Re: USO SR-8?

Are they calling it the SR8 or SN8?

Did some google'ing looks like SN8 is FFP and SR8 is DFP

Okay, after visiting the booth, it is the SR-8. They are refreshing the product line and depending on the magnification of the scope it will have a SR, MR or ER designation.
 
Re: USO SR-8?

I have the spec sheet in front of me now. It is called the SR-8

30mm tube
27mm objective
Reticle C2 and CDMIL
Length 12 inches
Weight 1.6lbs
Eye relief 3.7 inches

I had a chance to handle it a bit. It is hard to tell much indoors looking at walls and booths. But it certainly looks to be an optic that would be worth some comparison with the usual suspects. I hope to make it over to the S&B display tomorrow and make some comparisons.
 
Re: USO SR-8?

I have one, happy with it so far. Mine is the SN-8. Julio (Lazy21) is the source for these!

Re: USO SR-8?

Looking around, it seems there is a moderate amount of criticism of the USO push button illumination controls.

Do any of the 1-8x/1-10x scopes have motion sensors so that if you grab the resting rifle the illumination is automatically instant-on to whatever was pre-set?

Also, is there any consensus on red v. green v. blue illumination in the field?
 
Re: USO SR-8?

No on the motion sensor thing, but whatever setting the illumination is left on is what comes up when the powerbutton is pressed.

I personally have red illumination on the USOs I have, mainly because thats how they came( I bought a couple of mine used) and for the two ST-10s that I purchased new, I ordered the red illumination because that is what I was used to.

I must resist looking at the SN-8............. DROOOL!

Was at the booth yesterday and got more info. I'll be doing a review on my team mate DMiller's 1-8x with CDMIL reticle. I checked out the DFP model and it is bad ass!

I think there was an executive order that says you cant use your Fed Refund money towards Firearms or accessories......
