Rifle Scopes IOR 10x56 or U.S. ST-10

[EasyGravy]

Saw one of these at gun club today and I have to say I was impressed. I am currently using a SWFA 10x42hd and to me the IOR 10x56 was night and day better visually to me and that mp8 reticle is very nice. I was planning on a uso st-10x but the IOR is very appealing at $850.
Anyone thoughts ?

I really like my IOR, but, with the USO, you can customize it to your liking and the toughness of USO scopes is legendary.

I THINK you will find the IOR TO BE EVERY BIT THE OTHER SCOPE IS AN THEN SOME.

IOR has good glass, but it seems their durability is in question with many people on here...

IOR glass is good. But IMHO the glass on the three ST-10 scopes I have owned has been on par. I also liked the reticle options for the USOs. I also preferred the knobs and parallax adjustments with the USO over the IOR.
I would save a lil bit more and get the St10

Good luck with your search

Like the others have said, with the USO you get a LOT more options (from turrets, to reticle, or body color). Their customer service is also legendary and of course, made in America.

I just purchased a ST-10 and sighted it in on Saturday. I really like the scope. I do have other USO scopes. My opinion is that you can not go wrong with USO.

Thanks guys, plus U.S. Optics offers great military discounts.

The USO is better however neither really offers a whole lot over what you are using right now. The 10x42 HD model is a fine little scope in its own right and very durable/reliable. If you are looking for a scope upgrade I'd think about jumping to a nice variable like a Nightforce or Razor HD. Then you would have something that really does offer a lot more than what you are using right now.

If you're looking in the USO ST-10 price range, I'd recommend a second hand NF 2.5-10x. I had the USO MR-10, which I assume is similar to the ST-10 at 10x, and the NF was a lot more agreeable to my eye. The NF is also lighter and has a more proven track record for durability.
