Rifle Scopes Valdada IOR 3-18x42 35mm SF Tactical Scope FFP MP-

[fisherman]

I am doing some work on my FN SPR. It is a .308. This rifle has a fixed 16x Leupold 1/4 moa scope on it. I want to put a variable power on this rifle but would not like to spend another $2700.00 on a scope like the Premier 3-15 I bought for my AICS build. So I was considering the Valdada IOR 3-18x42 35mm SF Tactical Scope FFP MP-8 Dot scope. It is listing at CS Tactical for over $1000.00 less than the Premier. It is also a .1 mil scope like the Premier so the milling will work the same.

So what are the thoughts on this scope?

they are awesome!!! The research I did on them made me come to the conclusion that the older versions had internals issues but the new ones are GTG. use this to search and you'll find tons of info. libertyoptics.com is the place for IOR

The IOR 3-18x42mm are nice we have not tested one out yet but will be. If you get one get the GEN 4. I have a few guys shooting with the other REVS and the have gone down on them in a match.

You my also what to look at the NEW FFP Leupold with the M5 1/10mil RAD Turret. We will be getting them soon, they look nice and feel nice.

Leupold site does not have a M5 that I can find. Can you point me?

Here you go:

See Leupold M5 in our Store

LOL, looks like we beat Leupold to it. They are brand new and we have them on order. We've been told by Leupold they will be shipping this week.

Thanks,

In the narrative the descriptions states 1/4 MOA clicks. The spec sheet states 1/10 Mil adjustments. Which is it?

Is it a FFP with Mil/Mil?

Great Catch Jerry. It is FFP with MIL/MIL. The description has been changed. FYI All M5's are FFP...(except for the M5 8.5-25x50mm Illum.)

Re: Leupold M5
How many MOA of elevation?
Do the turrets have a zero stop?

 

[CSTactical]

Re: Valdada IOR 3-18x42 35mm SF Tactical Scope FFP MP-

Not sure on how much elevation is in them but I would say about 17 to 20mils or around 70moa.

The M5 does not have a 0-Stop to it. The IOR also does not a 0-Stop.

Will the 4.5-14x M5's be shipping at the same time or will there even be an M5 in that model.

I hate to say this but I watched a IOR 3-18 go tits up this last weekend. It quit adjusting and the power would not go under 5 or so. Something came apart inside. Reportedly it was a new model.


Luckily my new 2.5-10 ran, although it did not get many rounds put through it.

Any idea of when Leupold will be putting out illuminated M5s?

Leupold Update

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: EAGLE 1</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Any idea about when a Leupold ffp illuminated scope will be available ? </div></div>

Just talked to Leupold today. They said there was a good chance that the M-5 FFP's will have illumination in the next year or so. Looks like our M-5's will be coming in some time on the week of April 26th.

Thanks,
