so... how do we back up the assertion with some sort of hard facts? since i have both in house i can attest that they are similar in appearance but differ in quality.

Does it exist? Slash, SWFA SS second gen?

Yes indeed it is known ... The TS series "IS NOT" typical USO manufactured or quality, but still very nice scopes. There Chinese, but the If or not just a rebrand of a scope marketed under different name is debatable.
Now being manufactured by a factory making a similar scope ( Tho the USO version being more specific on QC or components used ) could very well be the case ?

But it does have a life time warranty, unlike Vector or discovery. I know, cause I had one of those Chicon scopes that went south. My claim was denied as scope was more than 5 years old.

I agree with what was said above, you won't find a fixed power, and the Midas Tac is one heck of a good scope. Probably the clearest you'll find in that price. My gripe with the Midas Tac is no lighted reticle, but I do have to admit, they made the best money choice, and put the $ in the lenses, fantastic. Since you don't seem to need a lighted reticle then a MT variable of your choice is probably the best answer.
Another good choice is the Hawke Frontier 4-20X44 1" scope. It is as clear as the Athllon and has the lighted reticle I want if that might tempt you at all. It also has a bit smaller, but yet just as usable target turrets. At 20x it is as clear as the Athlon and has a forgiving eye box.

Ok then I’ll say
“they are not the same scope”
they look alike but the u.s. optics is not a rebranding of the vector veyron.
if you have more details to the contrary please share as I’d like to study it more.
more info is always appreciated

Scope warranties do make a difference
hawke awesome - I’ve used
athlon awesome - I’ve used
Sightron awesome - I’ve used
U.S. Optics awesome - never needed yet

This scope seems to fit everything you asked for, MAP pricing is 2,470. You have to call around to see how much below that you can get, it won't be much. I know Eurooptic has a discount if you call them on the phone and pay with an e-check. I can't remember what it is, it's been about 8 years since I used it, it isn't much but anything helps.

The best warranty in the world, is of little comfort when your glass is broke on the side of a mountain a couple hundred miles from home.
I’ve said it 100 times…. Only a rich man can afford a cheap scope.

I have this scope that I bought specifically because it's so lightweight.
It focuses down to 25y on 22x, a little closer on less magnification.
But what mainly turned me off is the turrets on mine are poorly done. The elevation turret feels like a $300-$400 scope, and the windage turret feels like half that cost.
IQ is okay but not even as nice as my Meopta Optika 6.
The illumination is mostly daylight bright but not when it's a nice sunny day, for if I was to use it on low power and seeing the reticle better for a snap shot. The Athlon Cronus G2 is much brighter on 4.5x.
I already was prepared mentally beforehand but I don't like the reticle after using it for a while. I don't like mixing .2's with. 5's.
Lastly the elevation turret is 6 mils per rev rather than 5, which I found out I dislike more than the other downsides.
Man it's a $2000 retail scope and not IMHO worthy of the Razor designation.
But it's lightweight.

Yeah. Pricey now..didn’t realize they’d gotten so expensive. Got mine about 2 years ago for around $1,100 at Liberty Optics in Idaho. Buy once, cry once.

I barely snuck in at $1160 right before Scott flew the coop. $2000 is the retail price and the Cronus G2 is as well, but the Cronus can be had around $1100 too, and is a much more impressive scope - except for that it's heavy-ish.Yeah.

The only other scope I considered at the time for light weight in this mag range was the March 4.5-28x52 HM, and blew it by not getting that instead. Oh well it is what it is.
Ha, I keep mounting that LHT on different guns I feel might be more appropriate for it but haven't found the best fit yet so it's sat in the safe unmounted quite a bit before.

I think that I have r ead many times that the fixed 10x20 are less clear or difficult to use.
Have you looked through the swfa 12x42 or 16x42? These might be just the right compromise for you (yes I know you want 20x minimum)
Personally, if i was in the us, I would get a 2ndhand 10x42 HD, and see if the better glass would make up for the lack of magnification…
PS, yes I like simple and quality products that i can depend on…
