One other thing to consider, is that IOR CS dept. still needs work. Anybody ever had to call Val in Colorado, and ask a question?? I have...And it ain't easy!
That said, I had a 2.5-10x42mm tactical scope, MP8 retical that had some problems, and he made good on it and sent me a new scope. Just getting ahold of him can be a hassel. (Or it was a few years ago.)
His phone # used to be secret squirrel, and would be passed around in emails. Many people have emailed me for his phone #.
And Val can be what one might call "fickle" about fixing stuff. But, he's been good to me.
I liked there LR stuff for awhile, and cooled off when they went full steam ahead on the rear focal plane retical's. Bad mojo when you are using a ranging retical. this pushed me over to the "dark side of the force"...US Optics
