You keep saying the group...
On what Rifle is the 10 SF group using this scope ?
Cause they have about 4 rifles each if they want, and I have trained SF guys... never saw IOR.
Are you talking that 1 GUY in 10 SF or the WHOLE group ... cause they get their rifles from a place that is not outfitting them with IORs..
They use Leupold, might have a Crane NF, and certainly a few Horus... but across the board IOR, I am not buying it.
They have M24s, XM2010s, M110s, SCARs, M16s, what rifle specifically. For all you know that one rifle can sit unused for the whole deployment
Heres a quote (from your forum).
I'm about to head back to my unit after some wonderful weeks at home and in leaving here for a while again I'll repeat one thing that I've stated in another thread; SOCEUR was turned onto IOR scopes and other optic devices by the USMC Precision Weapons Section after extensive testing that they do every year on optics new and old that are in the system or being considered.
We have now been using some IOR equipment on weapon systems (two year point) and have been very pleased with them. Some replaced NF and S&Bs that were ok but the specific IORs had some better attributes for our needs and we have not gone back on any of them.
It says in case your prejudice is blinding you they got turned onto them by the USMC precision Weapons Section after extensive testing. Then it says "WE" have been testing, not "I" as in the "one guy" but "we" as in unit. Then he says they have been testing them for two years and are very pleased.
but I'm sure that you're not buying that either.
