Scope options

[dc8cappie]

Looking at 2 scopes. One is the Element Nexus and other is the U.S.Optics TS-20X. Element is 5-20x50 with zero stop. The US Optics is 2.5-20x50 without a zero stop.

Anyone seen both and have options on them? I would like any options especially on the USO scope. Options on glass quality/clarity of the one you have.

I only have the TS-12 . I found glass quite nice.

I'd think the US Optics with a bottom magnification of 2.5x would be very good for quick target acquisition when stalking (46ft @100y). The 5x of the Element not so much.... (23ft only, that's narrow).


US Optics on 3 of their 4 reticles (mil and moa) has thick outside posts that will help to see the crosshairs even if the FFP scope is at a low magnification. None of the Elements 4 reticle choices has thick posts.



US Optics has a 34mm tube, which allow for 105moa total elevation travel. Element has a 33mm tube, with 80moa. Sufficient for 100y and then some, but not for the extremer ranges.



US Optics has no zero stop but it does have a turret revolution counter. Element has both.

Well, the US Optics has a feature where you can set it up with a zero stop, but then you can't dial it more than one revolution (10mil) -- that's what I thought the zero stop was needed for in the first place.... Manual page 6, here: https://www.usoptics.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/TS-20X-Manual.pdf



US Optics is an inch longer and 0.7oz heavier.



Lovely scopes....

Thanks Rangur1 and Jungleshooter, image quality is my biggest concerns. The biggest downside is the zero stop, not usable at all on an air gun. Price is right, I can get it for under $1200 US vs $1500 for the Nexus. The Nexus looks like the parallax adjuster has a more usable range scale, better for air gun ranging.

dis-regard. read spec wrong.

Have you considered the Tract Toric UHD 4-20x with German Schott glass? It's within that price range. That's what I would buy given these choices and was a betting guy on the scope with the clearest glass and was forced to have to spend at least $1200.00. I'd personally buy two of the $550 on sale JAPAN Bushnell 6-24x50 FFP scopes given a $1200-$1300 budget to get almost $3000 worth of scopes JMHO.

Yo,

Discarded these scopes because I wanted at least 15 yds AO with the preference of 10yds. Wanted the 4.5-30x56 but not the 25yds AO.

Still might consider it anyway!

The JAPAN 6-24x50 Bushnells for around $550 each on clearance msrp $1400-$1500 are specd at 10 yards on description. Check it out but don't buy from them they're too expensive so buy from Tombstone or Tactical Wholesale. Search for online discount codes if you want to try to save more money (OR NOT).

Good news if they ever fail you get swapped with a $1800-$2400 current JAPAN replacement that has 50 or 70 yard focus that you sell on Rimfire central turning your $500 investment to $1200-$1500 that's your worst case scenario gambling on buying the $500 Bushnell. 

As stated don't buy from here buy from the other $500 places save money! Don't spend more for the same items! Many folks however really like to but I sure don't!

US Optics brand scopes way way way too overpriced compared to the other relabeled branded counterparts IMHO.
