[QUOTE="dc45, post: 144041, member: 7808"] Food for thought on the IOR 2.5-10X (I have three of them): 1) Their advertised eye relief is optimistic. On my hunting weight rifles (a .300 Win mag & a 6.5/284) I have gone to the extreme of removing 1/2" of the eye piece shroud to avoid occasional blows to my forehead. This mod makes adjusting reticle focus a pain, but once it is set for my eye I don't change it anyway. 2) All my IOR 2.5-10X's are marked as having 1/2 minute adjustments. Don't believe it! Mine measure out to .452 inch per click at 100 yards. As long as your ballistic software allows input of "non-standard" click values this isn't a show stopper either. As an aside, my IOR 4-16X is also marked as having 1/2 minute clicks; it measures out to .345" per click at 100 yards. This is really close to 1/10 mil, so I don't mind. It seems the IOR strategy for dealing with their crazy American customers is to just stamp on the knob whatever they most have asked for... Buyer beware. Dave [/QUOTE]
