There is nothing better. Ior is tier 1. You get what you pay for.

No comparision between this and my nightforce. The IOR is the absolute best you can buy. The glass alone is miles better than Nightforce is great…but…this IOR is wayyyy better.

I own two IORs, the 3.5-18 and this new 12-52. I love both of them. Can’t find better scopes anywhere. Glass is simply amazing and the elevation turrets are repeatable day in, day out.

I now own a new IOR Valdada Crusader 5.8x40x56, use it primarily for plinking steel at 500 – 1,000 yards with a .338LM. Just got through with my initial LR break-end @ 900 yards with the best groupings I have ever made – given all the scopes I have previously owned, some high dollar ones like S&B / NF / US Optics. Best value buy I have made in a long time. I definitely will buy another.

I own a 4x hunting IOR scope, that is mounted on a brno mauser in .458 win. mag. After about 250 rounds the zero has never changed or moved once. There prices maybe a little high for Romanian slave labor, but there quality is there and they make the most durable telescopes in the make.

That is a lot of cash, but not unexpected for what you get. I would assume that after time some of the features will trickle down in to the lower rpriced models that us common folk use.
I own two IORs, and after dropping my first one 4 feet off the bench onto concrete, and knocking it over on a bipod again onto concrete, and having it never lose zero or exhibit any problems from my carelessness, I swear by IOR. You cannot get better glass for the price.

It is nice to see some old aquantences posting here.

Looks like it’s more for the “shoot steel out to 2000yards with a .338 Lapua Magnum” market, where 1/4 moa clicks are a good compromise between too-fine 1/8 moa and too-coarse 0.1mil, than the F-class/target shooting market.

No comparision between these scopes and Nightforce.
Only $600 retail dearer over here than a NSX with more mag, moa & miles better glass.
The reticle is easy to use.
Seems to be .25 MOA clicks when I tested it at 100 yards & dialed up 20, reticle matched poi change as well.
I have several, VX3s, Mk4s, NSXs & now two of these scopes, very happy with them, may even get another…..

I agree with Danny. It’s about time for Nightforce to come out with something new. I too shoot lefthanded and have the same problem. A shooting-buddy once said I look like a monkey ‘doing the deed’ when I make that adjustment.
And, surely they offer more than that one reticle for that kind of money!?

What else is there out there with 100 MOA of travel and that much (50x) magnification?
