[QUOTE="gunlove, post: 1646707, member: 12454"] At one time there were only two real choices in premium optics: US Optics and Schmidt & Bender. Now there are way more companies in the game. US Optics's founder died, his son took control, and fundamentally changed US Optics moving them downstream in the market, to mass production, and away from their customer base. Their base was tactical/long range shooters the likes of which wrote most the reviews and congregate on forums like snipershide. Taking away customization, the EREK knob, and technological progressiveness for outsourcing, mass production, and quality loss was enough to significantly **** off their customer base whom have since moved on. On top of this the old EREK knob, milled knurling, and M40 knobs just plain looked cooler. They make good scopes but so do lots of other companies now. They are definitely a good brand to pick up on the used market considering their loss in popularity. I agree with Basher52, the ERGO SN-3's are gold and they are getting more difficult to find.
