While a novel concept with the Pitbull 1-4x and now 1-6x, the excessive weight and the fact that it is made by IOR (very poor quality track record) killed it in the mainstream serious shooting community.

21 oz isn't that bad for a 1-6x when compared to the Vortex Razor. That reticle is busy as hell.

I was aware that in the past ior had some issues but nowadays I wasn't sure. I have a friend w/ the 1.5-8 trident and he seems to like it. While I'm not expecting the pitbull 2 to be a leupold mark 6 1-6x20 (which is what I will most likely choose at the end of my search) I'm hoping maybe the ior has some upside to it and would be interested in a review. Edit: Also the pitbull 1 and 2 are not 1-4 or 1-6 but rather 1 and 4, 1 and 6 power. Correct me if I'm wrong though. |

Their track record has been mixed, but the last few years they've really seemed to have straightened out. I have a 3.5-18x50 I got a few years ago from their 'trouble-free' generation that is pretty awesome, and have others say the same of their latest offerings. |

Did large box tests, tall target test to 19mils, endlessly cranked the knobs and it always returns dead nuts. Used it in rain, cold and heat. I only have about 1700 rounds through it but I am happy. |

When I first got mine I cranked my knobs all over the place. It's always tracked perfect. From what I understand prior to about 2008ish they had been a little spotty. Mine has had a superb image, perfect tracking, great reticle, nice digital illumination. Only complaint is the finish scuffs easily and it's on the heavy side. |
