menial 1 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Would appreciate your thoughts or experices on these Roumanian scopes. I'm considering one for my 6BR, do they repeat dial well, is the glass any good , has anybody used the MP8 floating ret for long range varminting at high mag. Haven't had the chance to see one personally, I have S/B's at the moment and have tried Nightforce, these seem to have the spec I'm looking for at a reasonable price as opposed to the massive price hike on S/B. Thanks in advance, all opinions appreciated. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi Pete, Limited experience here.......I do have a 3x CQB IOR that is bomb proof and has excellent glass and thats compared against a 4x USO. It suffers from not really user friendly turrets or inital zeoring of the turrets. A last years plod comp I saw one IOR 9-35x ?, the glass looked great but it would not hold POI. I remember that scope having a 35mm tube as well which gives you a ring choice of IOR or USO. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menial 1 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Pete, I have a 3-18 x 42 Illum on my foxing rifle (.243) and really rate it. The glass is excellent and the scope is very well put together. Maybe a little 'agricultural' but I reckon you could drive a tractor over it and not hurt it. I can't comment on repeatability as I've never really used it for really long range work. You're welcome to take a look at it and compare it with your existing 'scopes if you want. Cheers for the offer Tikka, it's the repeatability I'm keen to know about before I risk £900 on the 6-24x50 tactical. Perhaps well have a gong session with Chris in the near future and I'll get to see your scope in action and it's ability to return to zero. Pete.

Maybe I'll just have to wait a little longer and buy another S/B. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nell Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I have ve the 6-24 x50 on my 6mmbr and so far am very happy,been doing some load development, but waiting for some better weather so i can try to get right out there... It goes up 1moa from 1 to 200yrds and this has repeated perfectly the 3 or 4 times i've tried it... Glass is also very good no faults as yet...

ds1 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Pete, One thought - I would check out which direction the turrets turn - if like my CQB IOR they are the same as everyone else except S&B (and Hensoldt from memory). Do you want to mix directions? This is not an IOR issue - I find it more natural to turn turrets in the direction I would a screw (IOR, loopie, USO etc) - that was one of the reasons I changed from S&B PMII`s to USO. I would keep it consistent though, which ever way you prefer to turn turrets. david. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menial 1 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 If you have one more PM11 you can't live with anymore, it'll be at home with me as all my other scopes are S/B and it'll stop me getting all confused when dialling. I now find all "normal scopes" to be arse about face turretwise. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
