Re: looking for some help picking out a scope
also i prefer hash marks to mil dots. i've seen quite a few negative reports on the 3-18 and would like to know if i have any other options in my price range.

Re: looking for some help picking out a scope
Nada.
This is a big problem in the market of mil/mil FFP tactical scopes. You can spend very little on a Falcon Menace, jump up to the two IOR option you mentioned, or spend +2k on anything else.
I'd call Scott at Liberty Optics about the 3-18x IOR. Supposedly IOR fixed the problems associated with the earlier 3-18x versions.
Either that or keep saving your money.

Re: looking for some help picking out a scope
i like the 3-18 but i still have my doubts due to the eye relief and also the small field of view when below 4 power magnification.

seems to me that there is money to be made in this market. too bad i don't know how to make a scope or i'd start my own company

Everyone is hoping Leupold gets their act together with a mil/mil FFP version

Re: looking for some help picking out a scope
well looks like i'm going to have to go for ior. just can't wait to put a scope on this stick any longer. now i just have to decide between 2.5-10 or 3-18.

Re: looking for some help picking out a scope
the problems were that on the older generation scopes the internals didn't seem to hold up, also the tube rear of the turrets is very short which doesn't allow a lot of play to get the eye relief right. they have supposedly fixed the internals but haven't done anything with the eye relief problems. the other feature that i'm not sure i care for is the field of view shrinkage below 4 power magnification. i have been reading that it narrows down to a tunnel.
