IOR Valdala 1.5-8x26

I've been thinking the same thing, that maybe they got their shit together.

It'll be end of the year before I can afford to do anything so I've got a minute to look at everything. The IOR 1.5-8x26 still leads the pack but the Leupold 1-6 VX6 Multigun is intriguing as well.

If Leupold didn't over price everything, the Mark 6 1-6 would be awesome....

Although I prefer mil/mil adjustments, in this case I would get the moa/moa version so that both knobs are calibrated the same. IOR sometimes offers strange combinations and "almost feature complete" scopes. They got it right with the 1.5-8 .25moa version.

Roger that.

I would much rather have 1 on the bottom end than 8 on the top. I would get the Vortex 1-6 for three gun.

your probably right, cause lord knows I suck the enough the way it is.

Only thing keeping me from the Vortex is the damn JM reticle.... now if they had their MRad or MOA reticle in the 1-6, it would be no questions asked on what I'd get

Doing a little research, I think I'll pass on the IOR, based solely on weight, It's a brick. I'm down to Vortex vs Leupold 1x6...

If you are like most, you will never notice the extra .5 magnification at the low end. Just like when first using a red dot if you are focusing on the target, you just see the reticle overlaid on it. The extra .5 also comes into play for close tight shots.

YMMV
