Norfresh Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Has anybody looked into getting one of these scopes? I have spent the last while looking through reviews and can't find a bad word to be said about them. I have never used Ior before but a lot of lads I know have used them and loved them. Anyway I ordered the scope this morning, should have it by the end of june. Price was €2100 including shipping and the 40mm rings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwYMynnIa4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfresh Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hi mate Tiff who runs the RRC has an IOR....The Beast model I think...give him a shout. Glenn. The beast is a Nightforce! They have a few different names on their scopes though (crusader, terminator etc) so they may well have a Beast model aswel. Would be interested to hear his experience with it. I have been told to expect delivery for the start of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Reviews are +ve:serious tough scopes. Recon 4-28x56 (40mm tube) was around US$3395 6-24x56 (35 tube) $1750 Terminator 12-52x56 $2850 Seem to be in S+B/Steiner/Hensold territory;very solid,great glass (schott?) tracking,zero stop nice ret(subjective) etc. Mount choice will be limited,but IOR do them,at least-could not see any UK prices. Nice-as are the other contenders. Gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ior are providing the mounts with the order which was one of my main concerns, they could have been a pain to source. That price converts to £1709....thats alot of scope for that money if they really are comparable with the other top end scopes. And they have a huge amount of elevation... 35 mil!

JB1 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I had an old 4-14×50 mp8 ret illuminated, sold it :-( very very big mistake, brilliant scope I want another. Your price is good, and am sure you will be very pleased with its quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash67 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I have had a 6-24 x50 sfp on my rifle for 6 years no probs, same glass quality as my Schmidt bought a moa moa ffp in 2-24 x56 last year, same goodness as above and run a 1-10 x26 on my AR for CSR my take is IOR give very little away to any other scope but so far i have saved thousands over labelled brands and will buy more as I need to. the tactical version are large scopes, no good for a light stalker , if you are worried about weight, but I guess they do smaller ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your price is good, and am sure you will be very pleased with its quality. I have the non illuminated version of this scope on my walther gsp carbine 22lr. Lovely glass and built like a tank. Nice clear reticle with plenty of holdover points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay666d Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 You can get some UK prices from optic wearhouse... I think they are the sole UK distributer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
