Thank you for the excellent review. I have the 4-14x50 IOR with the 30mm tube on a 65x284, < 1000 yard rifle. Brilliant optics, better than my Leupold M4. Outstanding value at $1100-1200.
At about $2000 the scope you tested is an under appreciated gem for < 1200 yard shooting.
I'm not sure but I think IOR is offering this scope at a big discount right now. After using this scope, I think that IOR brings more to the table than initially thought.
