[QUOTE="SCL, post: 17566, member: 1720"] Gents, How many folks out there agree with Vern and believe that USO should limit their product line and move to a mass (or semi-mass) production line outfit? Dantec made the same recommendation a few posts back... Am I the only guy here who thinks that USO's market niche is offering a truly custom scope - they offer things that no other manufacturer offers - i.e. "tell us what you want/need and we will build it for you if its physically possible." It may cost more than you would like, and take longer than you would like, but in the end, you are getting a custom item made for you - and you alone. It is precisely this reason why I favor USO scopes on ultra long range guns - they will give me a scope with 200+MOA, reticle of choice, illumination or not, etc. etc. Is this process cheap - never; not with optics, not with guns, not with clothing, not with...anything. I have had nothing but good luck with the USO products I have used, and customer service has improved greatly in recent times...YMMV (and has based upon posts from other members). Customer service and support will always be needed in this area, and honesty always goes a long way towards keeping your customers satisfied. They may not be happy with what they are paying, or projected delivery time, but in the end they will be satisfied if you are honest and deliver a great product as promised. JW3: Please keep your company headed in the right direction, and stick to your business model - the marketplace needs someone who will provide a true custom product - most average shooters don't need it, and will bitch about the cost, but those that do need it will pay for it, and understand why a custom scope costs more than a high quality mass production item. Why compete for market share in the mass production arena when you absolutely own the custom market? The ST10 is a good crossover product for potential USO custom users, but don't loose sight (no pun intended) of the guys who need and appreciate truly custom products. Just my .02 SCL [/QUOTE]
