[QUOTE="Sean K., post: 220746, member: 12277"] Ya, to be honest, the IOR is the scope I [i]really[/i] want but for me $1500 is a LOT of money (and I realize that in the world of optics, it's really only a mid-range price) and I just can't chance buying a scope that has such a bad track record of breaking for that kind of money even though my automatic won't subject it to the shock levels of a bolt gun. Heck, I'm still unsure as to what about the recoil is breaking what part of the IOR scope. Looking at the features I want: FFP, at least 14X max magnification, a 50mm objective (unless it has a 35mm body too, then the IOR 42mm would work), 30 mm body, side focus, reticles in the same numeric increments as the turrets (most likely a mil-dot or hash), and zero stop (negotiable)....the Horus Raptor looks like it's the one that's going to get my money but I still don't know if their optics are any good. Everything else is missing some of these features or is a LOT more money. I'm glad I found this thread just searching the net.....it's better to know about the problem before you buy than after. Wish I could find something posted by users more detailed about the Horus stuff. If IOR had some sort of timetable for fixing the issue, I'd be tempted to wait for the next generation. As it is, I guess I'll have to pass. :( Sean [/QUOTE]
