soother223 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 That's the thing every time I look through my other scopes then look through my zeiss I see a huge difference! Don't wanna spend 2k though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't wanna spend 2k though. I have read great reviews about Sightron scopes being better glass than Nightforce with good turrets too for a grand.

Mash67 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 had the 6 -24 x50 moa/mil for several years, I rate it highly, have also 2 other IOR's, 6-24x56 with moa/moa and a 1-10 on my AR I would like a 4 -28x 50 but will wait until you can get a moa/moa version, as you can see I personally think they are excellent value for money and not sure if they give much if anything away to other premium scopes with the added 500 to 1000 pounds or more price tag, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeB Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I got my first IOR this year, a Compact Spyder 9-36x44 which is a bit lighter than the bigger objective modles but still very rugged. The glass is far better than any of my Leupolds, and the turrets are the best I've ever used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB1 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Good scopes, glass very good, turrets spot on. Trebled in price since I had mine. I would buy another tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I got my first IOR this year, a Compact Spyder 9-36x44 which is a bit lighter than the bigger objective modles but still very rugged. The glass is far better than any of my Leupolds, and the turrets are the best I've ever used. I've just bought the same model, and am very impressed so far. The optics are fantastic, perhaps just a smidge short of my Swarovski Z6, but it has far higher magnification, useful reticle, zero stop and plenty of adjustment. It seems to represent amazing value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeld Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I had a look through a friends, really clear and sharp image, build quality was reassuring, I'd have one over a Sightron which although good don't seem as robust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximus otter Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 No personal experience, but a part-time dealer I often shot with used to say, "If you want to look at a 'scope, buy Swarovski; if you want to look through a 'scope, buy IOR." maximus otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soother223 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Well took the plunge last week. An bought a 6-24 X 56 . Set it up yesterday morning. The sight picture looks really clear! The clicks are really positive! If I had a complaint it would be the mag ring is quite stiff! Hoping it will ease up over time... Anyway I took out a crow an woodie just under 300 yds this morning and an hr ago I nailed a crow at 463yds with it on my 204 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971silversurfer Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 For those of you who are unaware and are interested in the performance of the new IOR scopes. Richard Utting has managed to secure 3 IOR scopes (6-24, 5.8-40 & 12-52) for evaluation and review. Reports will be appearing on his You Tube channel shortly.

soother223 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Got to say I had my victory 6-24 X 56 next to my ior the other evening. I have to say that at high mag I found the ior a little clearer!! On the negative I feel that when you wind the elevation up the hashes on the turret don't always line up perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 I have a fair bit of experience with Zeiss Zeiss glass is 10/10 Zeiss turrets are 5/10 Hi , which turret are you refering too ? The victory or diavari conquest ? I thought they were among the best especially diavari ... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
