If you bother to read the complete sentence he states he has had "several" IOR scopes, which should be at least 3... How many bad experiences would one have to have to qualify a brand as a loser? I would be more interested in the amount of use his scopes received vs the amount of use by the fanboys. IOR has been around for a long time, why does their reputation not equal that of S&B, Zeiss, Steiner, Kahles, Swarovski? They have Schott glass!!! Fit and finish and durability have been the Achilles heel of IOR for quite some time. Can an IOR scope work? Does an IOR scope work? Possibly, but there are others out there that do it reliably. I don't need learn every hard lesson for myself, that is why we are here to share and help each other and further the sport. How does bashing one brand of scope accomplish this if it is the best scope ever? You may get a good one, you may get a bad one, but if you are broke down without a scope for endless months and have to buy another what have you gained? This is the owner experience that many here share.
If you want your opinion to be respected, you should give other opinions equal weight. Good luck with your IORs, I sincerely hope they continue to work well for you. More options is always a good thing, even if many of us are not interested in them.
