[QUOTE="CBS, post: 571388, member: 11718"] i really like my IORs but...... i have the 3-18 model and the eye relief on it was too short so it had to get switched onto an AR; the distance between the erector and the eye piece was too short to mount far enough back to get behind comfortably. i've done a lot of research on IORs and i've never heard of anyone else having that problem so i'm not sure if that problem will be applicable to the 16x. personally i like the glass in my IOR better than my NF or Zeiss Conquest. my objective is small on the 3-18 at 42mm compared to the 56mm on my NF and 50 on my zeiss so it doesn't look quite as bright. but the resolution is better IMO. one day i was shooting the rifle that had the conquest on it and the mirage got so bad at 100 yds that i got frustrated and decided to pack it up. i did a quick check to see what the mirage looked like in the IOR and it was almost impercievable. i was really surprised at the difference in the two scopes. i wish i had my NF along that day to see how it would have compared in the same conditions. the downside to the IOR is the wieght. i own the 3-18 (35mm tube) and a 4-14 (30mm tube) and they are heavier than comparable scopes made by other manufactures. not sure if my response is what you're looking for but i'd say the IOR is a great choice. the fixed 16x isn't what i would choose but it sounds like it would work for your application.
