[QUOTE="SCL, post: 17568, member: 1720"] DMCI, I agree with you about mounting problems - these can happen with any maker's scopes and is a source of frustration, aggravation, wasted money on postage, etc. The first scope I ever mounted was a 10X Khales on a Rem700 police. Thought I was joe cool sniper with my high dollar Euro scope (this was long before the days where almost every police sniper gun had a Loopy on it.) Ran into the same problems you did until the local range gunsmith helped me out. I was on the verge of throwing that scope into the woods when that kind gentleman took pity on me and helped me out. :-) After re-reading most of Dantec's posts...well I think he's just ****ed off and flaming USO because he is bitter - but its a free country brother, and he has every right in the world to do so. I have since lumped him and his opinions into the "woman scorned" category - he is so ****ed off that he will never be objective, get closure, and take every chance to tell you how he was screwed over. I just think its funny that he is ****ed at the 5% dealer discount, etc. etc. and yet he still chose to be a USO agent for France (or EU or whatever). If he had half a brain he would have realized all of the additional costs dealing with imporation hassles, paperwork, translation, etc. and would have known that 5% wouldn't cut it. If he was promised twenty percent one day and then told five percent the next, he should have walked away as well. Maybe we don't have all the facts or I missed something, but thats what I have gathered from his posts...it seems he did get a raw deal or miscommunication with USO, but if he was dealing with JW sr. that doesn't surprise me...but to continually flame the company just takes up bandwidth. Sever your business relationship, find a better supplier, tell folks about your experience once or twice as a warning or friendly advice, and then let it go for pete's sake. I would like to hear his .408 story if he could write it without having to bitch every other sentence. :-) Then again, he thinks all militaries are made of money, and that a custom scope manufacturer (USO) has the mass production facillities to offer their scopes as OEM items on AI rifles...so maybe his perception of reality and mine differ far to greatly for his opinions to be of use. How long have you been a USO customer? Eight USO scopes is some serious coin, so you must be extremely satisfied with their products and service.
