| U.S. Optics Inc. was the
brainchild of the former
founder and President
John Ben Williams Jr. The
company had humble
beginnings and was
originally started from the
garage of John’s residence
in 1990. The idea to
create an optics company
that would fill the gap to
provide truly custom
telescopic rifle sights
designed by the shooter
for the shooter was born.
This undertaking would
take John down a road
that he passionately
followed and perused for
over a decade.
John Ben Williams Jr. was
tragically killed in a
motorcycle accident on
June 30, 2004.
In the years that John had
with us he truly
revolutionized the way
scopes are built. John built
his optical line from the
ground up with input from
individuals with
backgrounds in military
and law-enforcement. The
idea was simple, build an
optical line that was better
than anything ever offered
before. John wanted every
scope to be exactly what
the customer wanted, not
just a few models that
could be bought off the
shelf. John wanted
riflescopes that would
survive the rigors of the
battlefield and not
breakdown under the
stresses that large caliber
rifles would produce.
With a lifetime spent in
the gunsmithing industry
and a solid educational
background John found
success with his new optics
business. John acquired
machinery and tooling
from the rapid downsizing
of an aerospace company
Rockwell Scientific.
Early on John recruited his
son John Williams III to
build out his dream with
him. John III started with
the company during its
infancy in late 1990.
Together this father and
son team collaborated to
develop their scopes to
the standard that was
needed to compete with
other optical firms on the
market.
Over the years that
followed USO developed a
reputation in the industry
and became known for
producing some of the
best special purpose
telescopic rifle sights in
the world.
Through dedication,
perseverance and the
highest standards USO
has prevailed and thrived
with constant innovation
and updated product lines.
USO has sold scopes to
Military outfits and Law
Enforcement agencies
through out the United
States. We have also
satisfied contract
obligations with The Unites
States Marine Corps. In
1999 the USMC inquired
about refurbishing the
aging MST-100 and was
proud to be selected for
this task. Over 150 scopes
were successfully rebuilt
for this contract.
With the passing of John’s
father, John III was
named CEO of US Optics
and has continued to bring
quality products and
superior customer
relations to the company.
US Optics has a solid
business platform and new
product lines that ensure
continued success in the
future. |
