adriandavidb Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Seriously thinking about getting an IOR Recon; reading online I have seen some question marks over the durability and reliability of IORs generally, although not Recons in particular I like them but have never seen one up close in the 'flesh' unfortunately I be interested to here opinions from IOR owners, either contented ones or otherwise? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paratrooper Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I have had two.. One being the Crusader. They are built like tanks with great glass and turrets. The only downside is the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeB Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I have three IORs including a Crusader. Would get a Recon as well if they made them in MOA/MOA. Ignore the snarky comments on Snipers Hide which I think apply to older gen. IORs. The current kit, especially the Recon and Crusader is world class.

Yep; it's the Sniper's Hide comments that were some of the more negative I found Thanks both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillair1 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 The recon is certainly a chunky item, the latest reticule might not be to every bodies taste. I would have preferred the sh68 myself, but with the price including a set of tier one mounts. I've not been disappointed with an earlier 6-24 model, initial squint through the recon looks good. Stepping up from a 25mm tubed scope you will notice the weight increase on the rifle. If your thinking of using one of these large tubed scopes with an add on night vision, finding a dsa to fit the rear ocular will be an issue. The cobra dsa is too small.

Triumph045 Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Have a recon, a crusader and a 6-24 and rate them all very highly. In fact I took a pm2 off the 338 and put the crusader on, absolutely no regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillair1 Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 The IOR's come with a 30yr warranty btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Ignore the snarky comments on Snipers Hide which I think apply to older gen. IORs. The current kit, especially the Recon and Crusader is world class. Yes, take anything from the US re. comments with a pinch of salts. If it is not S&B or has been tested by some guy in his back yard ( FFS! ) then it is not up to standard. Some of the original IOR's were a bit iffy re. QC (I'm talking a good few years ago) but the ones I've looked thru' and fondled had nice glass and good controls - but a bit 'chunky'. If you can live with the size then not a problem.
