[QUOTE="fastex500, post: 630222, member: 29091"] I'll throw in my $.02 I have an IOR 3-18x42 mil/mil modified mp8 reticle scope. I have been thru several scopes, from Simmons and millet to leupolds, swfa and NF. Saturday I compared my IOR to a NF NXS 3.5-15 and a Bushnell HDMR... The IOR is on par to both, and I had one guy with a S&B PmII tell me it was close to his. I could easily read mirage boil at 15x on 600yd targets. A lot of this is because of the glass that is sourced from schott/zeiss. [url=http://www.chuckhawks.com/valdada_4x32_scope.htm]I.O.R. - Valdada 4x32mm Riflescope[/url] When I picked up my IOR, it was second hand and I did not get the rings usually included. One call to IOR's office here in the states and I had a set of TPS rings at dealer cost. I also know a few people that had issues with first gens of the model I have and IOR has always replaced them with a newer model with no questions. I can also tell you that several guys I know always say Liberty Optics will take care of you! As a side note, the spelling is probably because the paren company is located in Romania. But.... Don't take my word as the bottom line. Do some google searches, check snipers hide and you'll see some more info. I'll also tell you that at full power, and because the turret box is so far back, the eye box is more finicky than others.... But I'll take the trade off. I use it strictly for long range competition, so the reticle along with a 10 mil turret and great glass make it my choice. Hunters probably need something different, and past 1000yds, I would want more power. [/QUOTE]
