Rifle Scopes USO ST-10 Feedback?

[eboggs]

Ok, so, at first i was thinking..buy a SS and wait a year or two and maybe buy a better scope...I was on US OPTICS website..and i saw the ST-10...looks to be a little under $1000? and its a fixed 10x which is what i want..

Question...anyone know how good this scope is? and is it worth waiting another..month or two..or three to get over a cheaper scope?

Im looking to get a scope i wont have to upgrade later...will this be sufficient for the rest of my years?
Thanks

Ethan

I had one and loved it. It's really a great value.

eboggs,

I was the one that sent you the PM about the SS scope. It lost its job to an ST-10. The ST-10 is still gainfully employed. Nuff said. Happy shooting.

If you can swing the price get the ST-10, its well worth it. The glass is good, you get your choice of reticles and knobs, the damn thing is built like a tank, and finally it comes with some kick ass customer service.

Re: USO ST-10 Feedback?

I used a ST-10 for many years. Shot it routinely out to 1000 yds. Never had an issue with it. I ended up selling it only to buy another USO. You will not be disappointed.

Re: USO ST-10 Feedback?

Would it be bad to get it WITHOUT paralax adjustment? i wanna keep the cost down as much as possible... with this affect clarity at all?

Re: USO ST-10 Feedback?

Mine was a fixed parallax set at 250 yards. It worked good for it's application on my AR10, but the next one I get will have the ERGO. If I hadn't sold mine, I was planning on sending it back to have it added.

You want the paralax. That wil cut down on the chance of error.

Re: USO ST-10 Feedback?

You will not be disappointed with a stock ST-10X. I got mine with mildot and lit-ret. Also, I had the parrallax set at 300 yards and never had any problems. The glass is top notch on these scope for the money. Pat.

I have two ST-10 10x37mm scopes, both are MOA/MOA and I really like the MOA Type 1 reticle. I highly recommend the ERGO option, you can add it later on for $200. These are excellent scopes that can be used on a variety of rifles.

Re: USO ST-10 Feedback?

I have one, mil/mil with ARD and it's currently on a "work" rifle (HS Precision HTR). It has good glass, is reliable and rugged. Suggest you get one an use the h... out of it.

Re: USO ST-10 Feedback?

I just sent my Ergo moa/moa ST10 back to USO.


-to have them build me a mil/mil ST10

I really like mine, but decided to go mil/mil rather than moa/moa on all my scopes.
In my opinion Ergo is more important than Erek. I really like the 37mm objective, and when setup on an Ergo its about the same size as others' 42mm objective for fitment purposes.

My new build will be 37mm Ergo, #3 turrets, left side windage (so I have a clear view of my Jpoint at 1;00 on my SPR), illum body.
(so I can add illum later), MPR mil reticle.


One thing I wish is that they would do a fixed power between the ST10 and the ST17....

Hey Sobr, I have a question for you PM inbound.

 

[sobrbiker883]

Re: USO ST-10 Feedback?

Got the PM and holered back.
My scope being traded in was a moa/moa 37mm Ergo with #3 turrets, red illum, Ergo, Type 1 moa reticle.

Re: USO ST-10 Feedback?

Hey, can you post a pic of that scope with the left side turrets?

Speaking of wishes, I've always thought a 2.5-12x37mm SN-3 would be a nice scope.

Re: USO ST-10 Feedback?

I'm currently waiting on two ST-10 scopes.

Mil EREK 1/10
Mil #3 windage 1/10
44mm objective
Ergo upgrade
MIL GAP reticle
2" sunshade + ARD

Should be a big step forward from my Leupold MK4. It's primarily for use from 100-900 meters on my .308 Remmy700.
Being a fixed 10x, I wanted simplicity, consistency and matching turret / reticle.

From everything I've read, most have been very satisfied!
Good luck

Re: USO ST-10 Feedback?

I love my ST-10. I love it so much I sold my other 2 Leupold MK4's to buy 2 more ST-10's.

Re: USO ST-10 Feedback?

ST10 Mil/Mil left side turret EREK, ERGO, GAP Reticle. Love it.

Re: USO ST-10 Feedback?

I have one and it performs great for the money. There is nothing wrong with a basic ST10 but with options the cost goes up fairly fast. If you can live with a the fixed parallax then it saves a good chunk of $$.

ERGO 44mm obj
EREK 1/4 MOA
U.S. #1 M40 Style 1/4 MOA
MOA Scale Type 1 reticle
2" shade w/ ARD
USO flip-caps front & rear
USO XL rings
USO 20moa base
USO folding cant-indicator

Since the picture was taken the scope has been transplanted to my wifes rifle (the urban camo SPS-T).

to quote zak smith the cheapest thing you spend your money on for long range shooting is optics and rifle. so do not cut corners on optics
