Nemesis 300WSM and US optic rig....

Which model(s) were you able to compare (in person) between the USO and S&B? I'm not doubting your assessment, only asking for hands-on reviews of both glass (hopefully in the same magnification and objective size) to see if this is a fact across the whole offering from USO or just a particular model, either old or new.

I have used, and messed with the 3.2-17, the 5-25, the USO spotter (owned) and the S&B 5-25. Don't get me wrong, if someone was like, here's a USO I am not going to complain, but when you have the option of S&B, zeiss, as mentioned, the steiners and March (which is what I went with), and money isn't an issue, go for the best glass. I would use a USO if I knew I was absolutely going to use and abuse a kit.
 
Was on the March site, one i really like, light, short simple and plain reticule the March Tactical 2.5X25X42 with D-plex could be a perfect scope for the Nemesis 300WSM and a easy swap on my Scout Steyr 308... JP.

Can Zeiss really be compared to USO, S&B and March - I'll add Premier to that list - on all aspects? i.e. glass quality, ruggedness, usability (long range shooting reticle Vs simple hunting crosshair or dot), MOA/MIL turret elevation?

I've used a Zeiss (not a diavary mind you) on a hunting rig and I've been well served with it, no complaints there, but in comparison to the USO (SN4 1.5-6 and SN3 3.2x17) that I've looked through, they aren't in the same ball game. Again, might have been for the fact that it wasn't the high-end Zeiss, but still.

As you said though, if money is no object, the sky's the limit.

Money is a thing you cannot take with you when youre bound up there (in the sky...lol)... JP.

I don't want to speak for pyro but I'm sure he's referring to the high end Diavari or the Hensoldt, both being competitive with the others you listed.

I honestly was expecting $3,500 all in, so it's not bad at all. Perhaps I'm thinking of their bigger objective scopes too.

And no, you certainly can't take it with you. I say that if you leave enough aside for your love ones, the rest is toys-fund for sure :)

I'm sure by Zeiss he meant Hensoldt. And as far as hensoldt is concerened I would say they have the nicest glass amongst all others mentioned period! They are also very robust.

And the nicest thing is getting to use your toys-funds with your loved ones, it is a pay-pay situation... JP.
 
Anyway the one i will buy gonna be a top scope, at that level of quality, not much worries to have... JP.

And for my Nemesis 308 10K without a scope is not enough to let it go, kind of rifle you give to a family member or friend, could never sell it... JP.
