Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor 5-20 vs U.S. Optics 5-25??

[saleen308]

I started another rifle build but, have decided I'm going to use the money some where else. I have a Vortex Razor 5-20 on my rig I'm keeping but, I bought a U.S. Optics 5-25 for the new build. I'm toying with selling the Vortex instead of the U.S. Optics scope.

Which one would you keep and why?

My rig is 308 bolt rifle.

Depends. What are the details of the USO?

Sorry for the double post... but my computer went one way when I went another.

Add: I would stick with the USO personally. If you don't have it already consider upgrading the reticle to one with the internal bubble level. I own and like Vortex, but I loved my USO's.

Of those 2 I'd keep the USO. Probably would keep the Vortex as well to have on hand...................you will buy another buy Rifle.......eventually

I'm sure I'll get jumped for saying it... but that might be a little overkill for a .308 IMO. I would go to a 3.2-17x44 with an internal bubble level.

I would do a 3.2-17..........I just got one on a trade if you're a MOA guy

Since you are a MOA user, sell both and buy one or both of my Premier Heritage 5-25x56 MOA reticle/MOA turrets. They are both new in box. Up until several months ago, I primarily used and purchased mil scopes but occasionally bought and used MOA. I decided to go all mil and sell my MOA scopes. I will be posting them shortly.

Seriously though...the Razor is a very good scope but I would sell it and keep your USO.

what are you asking for it?

Well I think I'm going to agree with you all. I spent some time messing with them side by side tonight. The US Optics is a little bit better. I will say that I like the solid clicks of the Vortex better than the US Optics and I like the taller Vortex knobs.

Keep both. You'll eventually probably need both and would take more cash to replace either!

^^^^ Exactly

I've done this before, unless you have some sort of money hardship keep both of them. If you sell you'll just lose money and then in the future when you want another one have to spend even more to get a replacement.

It's funny you all mentioned this. It actually crossed my mind today.

I've got a Razor on each of my TRG's. They track near-perfectly and I'd be surprised if your Razor won't out-track your USO.

Beyond that you've got two really good scopes and you really should keep both. One for your future .338.
