[QUOTE="*WyoWhisper*, post: 17516"] I have been reading this thread with some interest and it has clearly become a choice of preference... I have some thoughts/questions though.. and maybe I can get some answers. SCL.. you say that the USO offers the ability to shoot out to 2500 meters.. WOW.. now thats a poke.. First question. Are you using tapered bases? Second question. What caliber are you doing that with? Third question. What are you hunting in Columbia at 2500 meters? 1 meter = 1.0936 yards 2500 meters = 2734 yards.. HOLY CRAP...! Now in my experience of LR and Ultra LR shooting...you need a BIG gun to get that far accuratly.. not even sure a 30 cal. can do that consistently and accuratly... so now we move to 338 wildcats.. maybe .408 CT and the 50 BMG. Now we are talking some BIG bucks for the rifle too... not to mention custom dies.. expensive brass and alot of $ in bullets and a TON of powder, obvioulsy not for every LR shooter or hunter...Now throw in a acope at $2000+ only the "welloff" can do that... Also, the mirage will kill you at that distance and I don't care what scope you have... I agree that custom things come with custom prices. But if the miltary both US and Canada can use the NF and be satisfied in it's performance.. that says to me that it is worth the $ you pay for it... I still have yet to see any coments that justify $2000+ for a scope... Almost the same reason that I never went with S&B.. I don't see where their quality is better than the NF... however, at a deal I might be pusuaded to buy one so I can get first hand knowledge... I had the oportunity to buy a USO...I held it look through it.. placed it on a dummy rifle right next to a NF both were set on 22X... I can't say the USO was that much better.. especially for shooting to 1500 yards... I have seen these arguments on other boards.. and no one really pusuades the other.. you will always have opinions... In my readings most people sell the NF because they weigh alot not because of poor quality or unhappyness... looking forward to the replys... [/QUOTE]
