As I said..I have been MORE than happy with IOR scopes!
I don't run with internet rumors and hearsay...I go on personal experience!
Mine have been outstanding..!
You know the. "I know a guys cousins brothers uncle crap"..I really own mine!
I also have a US Optics B- 25 GAP That works well..
I have the opportunity to stretch my shots to 500 yards although most shots wont be that distance. I decided on going a bit above my price point and went with the z8i due to its low weight and great optics. Thanks for the help, now I'm off to look the best price
This is Vortex' top of the line scope ALL made in USA (even the expensive ED glass) except the German made reticles.
This scope is the lightest weight for the power range (28 oz.).
Its 30 mm tube keeps it lighter than 34 mm tubed scopes but the new patented gimbal that holds the reticle is slim enough to give almost as much travel as a 34 mm tube.
Zeiss Conquest V4 4-16x44 Z-Plex, a little more scope than you need but its what Im using on m most of my rifles and its an awesome scope.
Tough as nails, zero stop turret, excellent optics
