After a lot of thinking , reading forums, talking to owners, it was not looking good for the IOR as it was hit and miss regarding the quality and if any possible issues IOR are allegedly a nightmare to deal with (wait time), so I bought an absolute mint Pst Gen2 5-25 FFP instead for £680, saving over £300 if I went down the IOR route.

I have T3 Sporter with 1/8 twist and it's an excellent shooter, 0.5" groups at 100yards that's with Geco ammo. I'm super chuffed with it. I did have the pst Gen 2 on there but swapped scopes and it now has a Falcon X50. 👍

Just a thought regarding sales threads, other shooting forums that I have been on for a good while started to ask for a photo of the item with your username to try to stop any possible scammers, one even asks for a date along with the username as a few people had been caught out. As I was so used to that system for a number of years, I found it odd when joining UKV and SD. Some sales posts don't even have photos of the item!! I know it may be a pain in the arse for some folk but it could be one way of getting rid of any potential A holes?? -

Can't bloody believe it , these tards are also on a target shooting forum I'm a member of. I've had a message from a Michael112 claiming that a Lawrence in London has both of the scopes I'm looking for . The arsehole must not have much between the ears as when you look at his profile he only joined around the same time as my wanted ad went up. -

If you don't opt for the 3.5% + 20p, you can get help from your bank that's associated with the PayPal account. I had a similar issue with no reply from the seller, phoned PayPal, they said that they couldn't help due to me not opting for the protection, however, they advised to contact my bank. I did this and the bank were very good, they asked for any proof of communications I had with the seller and any other relative info. Luckily before I sent it off, the seller responded and the item arrived a couple of days later. I'm guessing all the stress could have been avoided had I either took out the protection or the seller responded sooner than they did. Coincidentally I know that PayPal no longer cover payments associated with firearms or air rifles regardless if you have paid for protection or not. -
EXCELLENT NEWS!

Not too sure if he does or not?, I know that he's currently in Hungary, not too sure how long he's going to be in the UK for as he's moving over there full time. Regarding Wedgenock, it is a great venue for me. I moved counties not long ago so to get over to my perms isn't as easy as once was, so to have Wedgenock literally a 3 minute drive away is fantastic, just a shame I can't shoot my larger calibres there. ps...I was warned about Pete in a friendly way as he can be a bit dry with his manner, when I first met I knew why some people could take him the wrong way, I liked him😄 -

If this happens with me, I take a screenshot of the original photo, this reduces the size of the image and easily uploads 👍 -
My use would be plinking and longer range target.

If it's the one that I'm thinking of, it is a great buy but the reticle puts me off.

I bought a Viper pst gen ii off a member on here, absolutely mint condition for £700. That said, that sits on my T3 sporter so the Tik Tak 308 still needs a scope and I'm back looking at the IOR. The things you have mentioned have come up on various reviews that I've read, but like you have also mentioned, the Schott glass is something that is very tempting along with alleged great tracking, FFP matching ret and turrets, all for under £1K.
