ghillie.art.design Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hi, I'm thinking to buy one of these scopes but don't know which one to buy.. any advice is welcome. - Steiner military 3-15x50 - Ior valdada 3-18x50 Please feel free to give me advice on this one ? I've heard that Ior scopes are very trustworthy good scopes, but also Steiner has the good reputation ? Cheers, Bart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Put it this way ... ... ... Dacia Duster or Audi Q5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghillie.art.design Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 ive searched some comments on internet like sniper hide and other fora, people who bought the Ior where very pleased about the performance of the scope and the glass quality that's made by schott I've heard ? Also performance test pointed out on some fora that Ior performs nice. I don't have experience with both so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breacher Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Not quite sure re the dacia duster v audi comparison. More a Defender v Range Rover. I have used a few IOR and currently have a 12-52x56 on the LMT. IOR = Great glass and very tough but heavy as a result. And on the McQueen I can get up to 28x and still see the whole castle - great field of view !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Steiner make some good glass on their top optics, but IOR are a known quantity and hold used values well. Not so sure about Steiner. I have a pair of Steiner bins which are simply fabulous and easily on a par with some at three times the cost but wouldn't take a punt on one of their scopes unless I tried one out first. Plenty of info already out there plus tests on IOR, so it would be the more obvious choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch308 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I have the 3.5 x 18FFP. (and the 4-28 recon and the 1-4 bulldog), its a great scope, tough as old boots, my rifle got knocked of my workbench which is 900mm of the ground and landed square on the scope, it didn't even knock it out if zero despite putting a dent in the ocular adjustment ring, the glass is as good as any, (and certainly clearer than the 2 nightforce scopes I have), illumination is nice but it doesn't turn itself off, and they are heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I have two IOR scopes , my next scope will be another IOR , yes they are heavyier than others but they are robust and that's what I need , optics are superb and as good as S&B . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghillie.art.design Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Ok there is positive feedback about the Ior scopes, I think I'm gonna order the FFP 3.5-18 x 50 MOA/MOA version that 1/4 Moa with mp8 extreme X1 reticle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy W Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I use a Steiner MX5i Tactical 1-5x24 scope. I have to say the build quality is superb, the optics are crystal clear with a wide field of view and they are solid in construction. I have several S&B scopes, in various configerations, but the Steiner is every bit as good IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
