Rifle Scopes Q's for particular IOR scope

[3bnRanger]

I need a few questions answered before a potential sale about this particular scope due to no prior knowledge or experience with this particular model. My only experience has been with a 1st generation IOR.

Seller states he is the original owner and it was purchased in 2006, what "generation" would that make it (he did not know)? Here's some pics:

Here's the specs as provided by the seller:

IOR Valdada rifle scope. 3x-18x, 35mm tube, 42mm objective, illuminated MP-8 Dot Reticule, matte black. This scope is top of the line and includes 35mm tactical rings that I purchased with the scope as well as lens caps from Butler Creek. Elevation and windage knobs are very tight and accurately reset to zero. Reticule is bright, clear and etched into the glass rather than made from wire which could break. Illumination has 7 brightness levels. Technical specification are listed below

Magnification..................................3x-18x
Objective.......................................42mm
FOV @ 100yds................................61' to 8'
Eye Relief.......................................3.5 in
Diopter...........................................+4 to -4
Elevation Adj. Range....................... 60 MOA
Click Value..................................... 1/4 MOA
Coatings......................................... MC-7 Fully Multicoat with Antireflex
Tube.............................................. 35mm DURAL alum. alloy
Length............................................ 13.5 in
Weight............................................ 28.8 oz

The scope was on a Remington 700 .308.

Wondering if this is worth my time and if so what prce point should I be looking at for used? Thanks.

Yeah...I noticed it there but the seller stated he purchased it in 2006. I wanted to make sure there were no major problems from 2006 that were corrected in 2007 and beyond. I read through certain threads here on the Hide about possible internal issues with this particular power range.

The First Gen/Second Gen/Third Gen pertains to the FFP scope (aka the "Sniper's Hide" scope). The one you are looking at is SFP.

I am not aware of any negative issues with any IOR scope other than the SH scope.

Just call Scott at Liberty or even better Val at IOR, they have been straight shooters with me and have not been afraid to call thier baby ugly at times.
