I looks like MidwayUSA has US Optics in stock. How do they compare to Nightfore?

When I checked yesterday, the highest-magnification U.S. Optics scope sold by Midway is a 3-17. Most of the target shooters using Nightforces are running the 8-32 or 12-42 versions. So, one major difference is the optics power.
U.S. Optics scopes are extremely well-made with some very cool features, such as the EREK one- or two-turn elevation knob. But the USO's tend to be fairly heavy for their level of magnification. That's something to considering if you're trying to "make weight" for a particular class.
One great thing about U.S. Optics is that you can contact the company and have "your scope" customized in a variety of ways. This is a relatively small operation that works much like a custom shop. You can call and talk to the guys who actually build the scopes.
