Yeah, you just ruined the most practical, purposeful, greatest [in the world] thread ever (no offense super-p)...next stop the greatest sling swivel in the galaxy.
The best scopes in the world?

I just bought a Keiss Victory 2.5-10x50 Illuminated #40 and I can tell you this is a VERY nice scope for low-light hunting. This is my first "high end" $1000. + scope and overall I'm happy with it. Whether it's worth the difference between a Bushnell 4200 Elite 2.5-10x50 illum I don't know since you can buy 4 Bushnells for the same money ??????
In IOR's product range, there are two scopes that seem to suit the bill for "practical long-range shooting."
I've got an IOR 2.5-10x42 FFP illuminated reticle and it is a great scope, the glass is very clear and the knobs track well. It's mounted on a 18" AR-15. I've never heard anything bad about my 2.5-10, an older design, other than that the new Super Sniper 3-9x40 FFP may give it a run for its money for about $200-300 less.
They also have a 3-18x42 FFP with a 35mm tube (the Sniper's Hide edition) that is apparently now pretty good, but the first batch had issues, though they seem to be resolved and I'm going to get one for my new Savage in 260 Rem that I am building. Featurewise, it is not illuminated, has somewhat short eye relief, and the location of the turrets limits mounting options, which detracts from its appeal. OTOH, it has a great reticle, and you can't find a similarly featured scope for anywhere near the price.
Furthermore, I think people just don't trust IOR/Valdada's service, and there are a few vocal people who seem to hate them because of a bad experience. I bought mine from Scott @ Liberty Optics, so I am confident that he'd take care if me if I had problems.
that is shocking to me for some reason. it's just hard to believe that someone up to their armpits in $3800 pistols (love my supergrade compact, btw!), with decades of competitive shooting and african hunting experience.... is just now buying their first $1000 scope
afy, you like weaver but not leupold? you mean, for the money? or straight up?
btw, feel free to update your old thread on your adventures with the custom rifle and the wacky gunsmith who said it wouldn't shoot a couple years back

Can you get scope rings to mount it on S&W 500 mag?
