John and crew over at US Optics have started offering internal levels and I just got my hands on one. Thought I would post up some pics etc. I mounted it up on my varmit rig for now to run it through some tests and see how I like it. I put a USO rail/swing level on the rifle and leveled the rifle ... then leveled the scope with the internal level in the scope. Both levels reading dead center tightened up my rings etc. Tested it on a plumb line with both levels showing center and all looked to be good to go. once you cheek up on the rifle the level does not dominate the optic as you look through it and to get a good look at it you have to cheek up a bit. In average shooting light its easy to reference. Pics of the setup ... will post more info after this weekend when I shoot some 500 to 800 yard steel. [/img] sorry my camera is cheap and my photography skillz are lame ... I spend my $$$ elsewhere .... |

Sweet set up! That looks like the cat's ass!

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

I am not saying that... But it would appear so...The Springfield scopes had a great idea, it deserved to be copied by everybody! I will have to defer to your overall opinion of the S.A. scopes, as I have never looked through one. I do know that U.S.O. has a rock solid scope,reputation, and warranty.

probably had to wait a specific period of time to use the improvement patent. Good idea though.

Good for USO.
I hope it is executed well. I have yet to see an internal bubble level in a scope that is properly executed (i.e. does not compromise the rest of the functionality of the scope). I am currently testing a Konus scope that has an internal bubble level, and while I like the idea, I am not sure I am happy with the execution. ILya

I like mine...
I would probably rather have the US Optics, regardless of how the bubble is executed. From the picture it doesn't look as "subdued" as the one in my SA.

Can you elaborate more on what not great about the execution? Does it not line up with the reticle leveled or what?

That is one of the problems I have seen in the past. Then there are others: -to see the bubble you need to move your head, -tunnel vision is increased, -I have seen a bubble leak out inside the scope, etc ILya
