[QUOTE="Black Diamond 408, post: 112422, member: 1563"] I dont like to post negative info on products without the company having a chance to rectify the problems. You all know about my 338 snipetac and Kirbys 338AM, well... about three years ago i built my first SnipeTac, put on a 8x40 Tasco Pro scope, it was on my 50bmg rifle, mounted it up on the big 338 with brake, lasted 5 shots, the front tube unscrewed. Called Tasco, nope no can fix, old model. OK, didnt have the extra funds so i ordered a IOR 6x24x50, hot looking scope....34shots, boom blurry. Called the place i bought it from, they called VAL, he asked what it was on, 338? Yep, he then said, oh that scope wont work on a 338mag. But then he also said, that scope is no longer going to be made so i have to send extra money to upgrade to the 35mm tube model, he said this scope will take anything you can give it. I mounted it up last year, so far i have fired over 100 rounds through it. Only thing i have noticed so far is the Focus knob on the left side of the turret is getting extra play, you can turn it at least 1 quarter turn before you feel the engagement for focusing. I have to call VAL soon and find out what is up now???? I supose i will get some thing like the brake is screwing up the scope. I had a Leupold 24X on a 300mag, no brake, several shots and the glass started to rattle inside, they replaced the whole scope with NO questions. I have installed many Nightforce scopes, no problems at all! MY next scope will be a Nightforce. The IOR has great glass and seems easy to stay focused, but the internal parts seem to have problems. I hope they get the bugs out, nice priced scopes with the rings included. I will report back as to what VAL says about my new issue. Dave [/QUOTE]
