[QUOTE="SCL, post: 17514, member: 1720"] John, Blaine's response to you regarding what point I was trying to make is correct. Go back and reread my posts - I never once compared NF to Tasco regarding quality, and said that high-end mass production makers like NF, Zeiss, S&B, make great scopes that fill most user's needs. I don't think those comments are arrogant at all, however, after reviewing all of your posts on this thread, it appears that you are so strongly wed to your NF scope, that my comments might have come across as me saying something inappropriate about your wife, girlfriend, or significant other. My apologies. I am happy that you love your NF scope - like I said before -if a mass production scope meets your needs, then buy it and save your hard earned cash for extra ammo. The answer is indeed customization - particularly for ultra-long range applications. I never said that a USO will make your rifle more accurate. Speaking of that, what are you shooting and at what ranges? A proper USO scope set up lor long range work will give you more range for your caliber because of more MOA's and better optical resolution. Basically, you will see things farther away more clearly, and have the elevation to dial in for that longer range. At ultra long range, MOA's between 100 yard increments increases greatly, so the additional elevation adjustment is needed to avoid going the "Tenessee Elevation" route, which doesn't work to well (at least for me). Look at ballistic charts for your given load and see how quickly things fall off between 2000 meters and 2200 meters. The difference between those 200 meters is enough MOA's to cover most rounds from 0 to 800 meters (or more). I realize the above statement is a generalization, and results will vary based upon MET and ENV conditions, bullet and powder selection, etc. Just crunch the numbers and see how quickly things decay when you are way out there. If you are not shooting at these ranges, then it makes no difference. Just about any decent quality scope will cover you and a .308/.300WM, etc out to 600 - 800 meters. Triple those ranges and its a whole new ballgame mi amigo. In closing, I wish you nothing but good luck and good shooting - with whatever rifle/scope combo you are using. Regards, SCL [/QUOTE]
