Boy!! I forgot how GI-NORMOUS that USO was!!!
Compared to the Monarch, that is.
Same rifle and rail in both pics.
Sorry for the hi-jack of your thread, kiwi.

CT, thank you for the photos. LOVE the looks of that USO. It is a monster, though. The Monarch doesn't look bad, but the rifle really is HOT with that USO on it.
Kiwi, my apologies as well...just the thoughts flow during a certain thread sometimes, no intent to take over your post. |

I have a 4-16x40 Bushnell 4200 and you can get Kenton knobs for those which is a better route than a balistic reticle. Balistic reticles only work at the highest power unless it is a FFP First Focal Plane scope. http://www.kentonindustries.com/

I too have an SN3 and it is an amazing scope. And the elevation turret on top can be fitted with a BDC for calibration to any particular load and bullet.
I too had the Monarch with BDC (for a short time) and didn't like the thickness of the reticule. I like BDC's on my hunting rifles. I have a Tikka T3 (in .270, great handling gun) and topped mine with the Swaro AH 3-10 with their ballistic reticule - and it is my favorite rifle/scope for stalking game. Here's most of my SN3, below the 600-yard, 3-shot group it printed (I know, 3 shots ain't a true group, but it was my last 3 and was purely for the hell of it. Notice also the BDC, calibrated for the 190-gr. Sierra BTHP at 3050FPS - and it is dead-nutz. All 3 rounds would'a been dead-on had I called the wind a little better - it was a windy day and I didn't have my Kestrel on hand. |

Freedom is something you take.
Respect is something you earn. Equality is something you whine about not being given. |

OK, CT and RC, you have convinced me... I started a USO SN3 fund. I am already considering a bake sale...
However, I may still wait on SWFA to perform an evaluation of the Ellis Optics scopes...
RC, what action is that... great bolt knob.
