Re: IOR 3-18x with mp8 reticle
I have a IOR, 9-36x56, with a MP 8 reticle. My elevation knob (turret) is loose at the upper limit ( top 25 MOA) of travel. It too tigthens up about half way down in travel. At that point the dial is tighter turning CC than CCW. The windage knob feel is consistent in both directions, but hash marks (lines) do not line up.
Also,as a side note, there is a slight yellowish tint in viewing. In fairness I have not mounted it yet and have no idea of it's performance in the real world.
Glass does seem to be very good to this untrained eye.
