Very different price ranges (I am assuming you ar talking about a 1.5-5x20 MR/T).
IOR 1.5-8x26 is a better scope in every way I can think of except for weight )it is a couple of ounces heavier), but it costs more. A better comparison against the Leupy is IOR 1.1-4x26. Then both scopes are very close in size, weight and price. I prefer IOR's CQB reticle to Leupy's SPR, but that is a personal choice. Both scopes are pretty tough, mechanically. Optically, the difference is a bit more significant. IOR glass is clearer, resolves better and has a substantially wider field of view, making for a considerably faster target acquisition. I may be wrong on this, but I think Leupy's actual magnification range is 1.5-4.5x, so you would not give up a whole lot on the high mag end. ILya Edited by koshkin |

interested more in the m2 turrets on the Leo, the reticle on the ior however-got to love it. curious to see if the 1.5x4 leo was as ---hmmm-- marginal as my mk4 4.5x14x50.

I've played with the M2 turrets on the Leo and I think they are quite good. However, I was quite disappointed with the SPR reticle. IMO, it is too thin for a scope of this type. IOR's CQB 223 reticle (thinner than the original CQB) is also a little thinner than I would have liked, but it is still faster than SPR.
IOR's adjustments are also not too shabby: very positive and repeatable clicks. However, the 35mm scope has 1/4 MOA clicks, while the 30mm 1.1-4x has 1/2 MOA clicks and lower profile turrets which I prefer. ILya |

I could certainly live with 1/2 moa since reticle has BDC built into the reticle and lower is better. hmmmm thanks. new direction to ponder

As long as I'm here I might as well muddy the water a little. Here is the one I like:

I have the 2-12x32 on my 6.5Grendel. It is a very nice scope, but a very different animal because of the MP-8 reticle. For a robincon XCR I would think that a lower range scope with a more visible reticle like the CQB is a better option.

Got medium and long range stuff in ar's , also ACOG, and Eos looking for low power out to 300 yrd. will be using mostly 65 gr sp or 75 vmax if they will staballize in the 1x9 handloads loaded down for use with a noise supressor, out to 300 yds. max. torn between 2.5x10 nightforce fc-2 reticle and the IOR Qcb. in approx. same range.

I think that the comp M4 aimpoint is a nice out to 300 yd optic or the new EoTech with the flip to side 4x
It all depends on how accurate you want to be at 300 and I would think the IOR I mentioned having wider magnifiication range than the Nightforce would put it in the running. I like the MP8 reticle but up close nothing beats an EOTech unless the batteries ran out and if battery life is an issue the Comp M4 is the winner up close. Edited by Urimaginaryfrnd |

I have not yet tried the magnifiers for EOtech or for Aimpoint. What kind of field of view to they give you? eyerelief?

The EOTech have not been released to the public yet. The field of view will be altered considerably between using the 4x and flipping it to the side but what is hard to see is why it costs $798.95 for a 4x magnifier , thats a little rough eaven if it is cool and flips to the side.
It leaves me thinking:
With Weaver see through rings, it's kind of the expensive way to get here:
