I'd like to see one of those in the flesh - border barrels don't really push them, when I rang to enquire they weren't much help, but I have heard a lot of good things!

I looked at them very nice to !

But resale value is nothing . I can sell my S&B precision hunter for more than i paid for it 5 years ago ! Not that i would.

Take a look at York guns used optics.

I did see one on there back along but im pretty sure that it was for around £800 without rings.

Ive done a lot of looking around, benchrest shooters in the US are picking these over Nightforce etc....

 

Theres not much else out there that i really want scope wise, im not a fan of nightforce and S&B-Zeiss big mag i couldnt afford. I had a Docter 8-25x50 but couldnt go lamping with it cause the cross-hairs were so fine

 

Ive got a Konus at the mo and for a "cheap Scope" i cant knock it but ive been after an IOR for some time now, will be very intresting to see how they compare.
