I wanted to know if any of you have had the chance to use the IOR 3-18X42 with 35mm tube? I read that each click is 1/10th of a MIL and has good glass. It looks like a very nice scope.

I've not seen it. But, I have a sneaking suspicion that koshkin will gravitate over here to this thread pretty soon..... |

Due to popular request, I have to voice my opinion.
I have not played with a 3-18x42 yet. However, I have a 2-12x32 with a 35mm tube and I am extremely impressed.
The clicks are 1/4 MOA though on both the 3-18x42 and the 2-12x32.

I would have stayed out of it if you had not provoked me.
How is your test lab effort coming along, cheaptrick?

Looks good. I'll try it at the range this weekend. Buddy has a flat top AR that will really like it, I'm sure.

Yes let me know how the test goes. See if you can test and listen to the clicks, Let me know what you think of the glass and the reticule, ect .
Koshkin does the larger tube/rings cause a problem for the bolt throw on your gun? Edited by Sniper6 |

I had it mounted on a semiauto, so I do not know yet. I'll
probably move it to a bolt gun that I am hoping to finish putting
together pretty soon (M48 Mauser action with a Parker Hale 308 barrel).
But it does not look like it will interfere with the bolt throw there. ILya |

What is your opinion of the MP8 reticule over the Mil-Dot? |

I think that MP8 is a better reticle. I prefer hashmarks to dots,
and 1/2mil hashmarks can be quite useful. For ranging, I think it
does not matter much, but if you want to use it for holdover or wind
doping in addition to ranging, I think hashmarks are better. I
also like the fact that there is no thick bottom post and that there
are more hashmarks there.
However, I am not in the military and I do not use these products for a living, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I am not an authority on this by any stretch of imagination. ILya |

Thanks for your opinion Koshkin. That MP8 sounds better than the TMR . |

I prefer MP-8 to TMR, but they are similar in concept. Mostly I
prefer MP-8 due to the larger number of hashmarks on the bottom part of
the verticla scale.

i just bought a 6x24x50 w/ 35mm tube, love it i like the mp8 better. you can split barbwire at 500 yard with it. the very small dot in the center dosen't even cover a dogs head at 722 yards. but it is harder to fined that center in low light.

Longbow308 Thanks for your post ! I have been checking out a few different scopes IOR 3-18X42 35mm tube, US Optics 10X 35mm tube, Night force 3.5-15X50NXS . I will also be interested in the new Variable SS and New XOTIC. I like the wide power range , reticule and size of the IOR. This looks like it would be a very nice scope with plenty of elevation for those long shots. As of right now I like the IOR and the USOptics. I would probably be putting it on a new 300wsm or 338 rum , Maybe a custom .338 WSM. The only concern that I have run across in my reading of the IOR is when people need repairs or have warranty problems they say it is like pulling teeth to get the warranty honored . I am Hard on scopes and this could present a problem for me. |

MP-8 Hashmarks?
At what magnification are the MP-8 hashmarks scaled for use? The Leupold reticle is scaled for use only at the maximum magnification (say, 3.5-10X: only the the 10X will give you an accurate MOA reading). |
