IOR
« on: October 01, 2004, 06:07:53 AM »
Anyone have any recent experience with IOR scopes?  I'm mainly interested in the fixed 4x32.  I recently picked up a .257 Roberts built on a VZ24 and feel like I want to top it with something "European".  It came with a fixed 4 BSA on it that I had to promptly remove.  My kids wouldn't even take it for their .22's!   Kahles or S&B are also options, but the IOR looks interesting for way less $$.

akpls, I have an IOR Valdada on my Encore 300 Win Mag. It is a    
 2.5-10x56 Hunting Scope, illuminated 4A dot reticle 30mm tube. It is very clear and the field of view is great. I am a Leupold guy myself, but I do like the IOR scopes also.

I had an IOR 4x tactical type scope on one of my AR15s for a while. It had nice glass and looked pretty sturdy. I could be wrong, but I thought the eye relief was a little finicky, but I seem to have more problems with that than most people. A fair number of the guys I shoot with have used IORs and everyone seems to eventually sell them, not sure why. I'm no scope expert, but personally I'd get a Leupold
