Rifle Scopes Nxs 2-10x32 or ior Spartan 2-12 which is the better buy??

[a1-equipment]

I have narrowed down my choices for my repr. The NF nxs 2-10x32 or the ior Spartan 2-12. I don't mind the bdc on the ior. I have both NF and ior in high magnification scope. Not sure which is the
Best scope for the money

Ive owned both.

Had an older 2-12 on a SPRish clone I build 10 years ago. It was a good little optics, Great Glass, fantastic reticle at the time (still love the MP-8), illuminated and a good price at $900 bucks back them. Even came with a free set of TPS rings from Scott @ LO when he was starting up here on the hide.

With that beind said, I would go with the NF. It will be lighter, more reliable, and you will have zero issues tracking. IOR does not have a track record of flawless optics, and if you get a lemon (good chance you will) their CS sucks donkey balls. Good glass does not make up for poor tracking/reliability, which is unacceptable in that price range.

I would also look at the March or the New Steiner 3-15 coming out.

NF because friends don't let friends buy IOR.

That and I've seen IORs drop like flies on the range.

The IOR may or may not break after 200 rounds.

The IOR has good glass but the Nightforce is a better built scope. I will say the IOR 2-12x Spartan was one of my favorite IOR scopes. Again I prefer the Nightforce.

Good glass + IOR logo on your scope= money better spent on a Night Force. And yes there (IOR) customer service blows. They tell you that the scope is an older model and they will upgrade you for a fee to there new and improved model. No other company does that! Couldn't wait to get out from under them and am happy to pass along my experience. So let the fun begin
