Scotch_egg Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Border will and can still supply you an IOR. The only real change is the fact they don't keep them as a stock item. A deposit is required on order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 can anyone point me in the direction of a uk supplier as I'm fancying a 4-28x56 model , I know border no longer are the agents but was wondering if anyone else has taken up the reins ? cheers guys the 4-28x56, we have 5 of them here but the way they have been designed means that the image under certain magnification becomes cropped by the top and bottom sides of the scope body. a picture speaks a thousand words so email me if you want to see them. The optics are still fantastic, but I have had several people return these scopes due to the image cropping issue. Speaking to IOR about this, they said that the scope was an American design and this was noticed on the prototypes but was not an issue to them so they pressed on and released the model. I personally find it distracting. With the money we lost on refunded shipping costs, I decided not to sell these scopes unless the customer was fully aware of the image issue and came down to see the scope before buying it in person. Also the scope has a 40mm tube which is very large and chunky for an average varmint rifle. IOR recommend this scope was for 338cal and 50cal and 408 Cheytac etc...
