Re: IOR or SWFA SS

Another issue, the eye relief and the mounting, guys were having a heck of time mounting them correctly because behind the saddle has very little room.

I had one of those, it broke, replacement was fine though. Tube design and eye relief were horrible for anything but a 308 AR but great for that. Maybe 1500-1800 rounds on a DPMS SASS and then sold it to someone on this site, he hasn't complained at me so it's probably working for him too.
And yes I cranked the knobs regularly, I used to spin the shit out of the elevation knob for fun and it always returned to zero + impacts followed the reticule, box tests, etc. It always worked, held zero/tracked which is more than I can say for my Mark 4. I used to put my DPMS SASS and rem 700 w/leupie in the same case, toss it in the back of the truck and the leupie would lose zero
. But try saying that on a certain hunting forum and see what happens...
TL;DR = I liked my horrible ior 3-18, would buy another, only thing is now they are around 1700 and at that price the Razor HD is only a stone's throw away and in my opinion it's a better scope with better reticule choices and build quality. And when you have the bushnell HDMR, SUper Sniper 5-20, Vortex PST 6-24, all for hundreds of dollars less, well...
But that's just my opinion.
