[QUOTE="crypto666, post: 252783, member: 10794"] I am a little late here, but wante4d to throw in my 2 cents. I have owned a IOR 4-14x50 with the MP-8 reticle for over two years now mounted on a DPMS .300 SAUM. This reticle is the best I have been able to find, I think Zeis has something comparable. At any rate, the reticle is why I bought it. The scope is the clearest I have used and the features kick ***. My only complaint is the illumination is too bright. It is very durable and has taken a couple falls. Once it rolled off a concrete step at the range because I didn't watch where I set my rifle down. It fell a good 10-12 inches and landed on the turrets (caps on). Picked it up and it was still zero. It took another fall from the bench on to concrete; about 4.5 feet. I did not see how it landed, but the gun must have landed right side up. Picked it up, and it was still zereoed. Made me sick however. I love the scope, however, I looked at another IOR at the range and was not impressed. It almost seemed like a different scope. The crosshairs did not looked etched, and the fit and finish did not look the same, granted it was a lower end model. A friend of mine bought a 10x50 fixed with the MP-8. I have not seen it since the first time he went to the range, it also feel off the bench, but without turret caps on. It did not survive. THis is were it gets ugly; the warranty would not cover it. WIth other scopes you might be covered in this case. IOR said because of the severity of damage in order to get it fixed it would have to be sent to ROmaniam, which takes several months and would cost as much as a new scope. They eventually worked out a deal and took his broken scope and gave him credit on a new one. I love my IOR and swear by them, but I will probably get something that has a better warranty in the future. [/QUOTE]
