[QUOTE="SES50, post: 190378, member: 7753"] A while back a buddy and I were up on my property and he had never shot and night. So we deside to go out to the 150 yard range that we have on the property to do a little night shooting. It was a clear night and the moon was about half full. My Barret 95 has the 3.8-22 power scope that I explained above. My buddy has a Rem 700 PSS with a Leupold Mark 4 with target knob. At 125 yard there is a berm with a bunch of bowling pins sitting in a bunch of different locations all over it. With my USO scope I could make out all the bowling pins even the one that were not in full view and some that were even in the moon shadows. With his rifle he and I both could not find any of the pins until we turned the truck lights on. After we turned the truck lights on you could find the ones that were in plain view but the ones that were obscured by grass or in shadows from the truck light were still impossible to make out. Ever since then I have opted for scopes with better glass than Leupolds. Now I own some leupolds but if I am going to buy a cheap scope it will usually be an IOR, and then if I buy an expensive scope it will be a USO. The big selling point for me on the USO scopes though are the fact that I can get a FFP MOA reticle with MOA knobs. I have called IOR a couple times and asked if they will make that combination and they say they have no plans in the future to do so. But they are making a FFP Mil Recticle with Metric knobs. I just do not want to go and have to learn the metric knob so I spend more money for the USO scope when it is a rifle I feel is worth the better glass. SES50 [/QUOTE]
