The foundation line is just a rebrand of the B-series based the website info. Nothing new to see until 2020 I guess.
Nah, they deleted the locking turrets and called it an upgrade.
Are these going to be SFP or FFP?
I own two USO variable-power FFP scopes, researched a bunch others in the process, and the FFP models all placed emphasis on the fact they are FFP in their literature and advertising. I would assume SFP unless specifically stated FFP.
Choice is great for the gun community, and it’d be nice if U.S. Optics would climb their way back into the tier one optics category.
American made is always very appealing, and everybody loves a comeback story.
