I have been looking on the internet for a few weeks now for a 5, 6, or 7X fixed power lighted reticle scope for a 20". Does anyone make a reasonable quality/ reasonably priced scope in this configuration? I suppose I can go with a 2 -7X, if I have to, but I was wanting to eliminate the potential failure of the zoom mechanism, if possible. I have googled & looked at the major mfg's websites, but I find few with lighted reticles. I was hoping Burris, Pentax, or Leupold made something like this, or another mfg of similar quality & reputation. Thanks in advance for any input. Johnny C! |

IOR makes a 6x fixed illuminated. It's a little pricy, but the MP-8 reticle is nice, and it comes with some quality rings.
IOR has a solid reputation for first-rate glass and durability. |

I guess my mind set is to eliminate as many moving
parts as possible from anything where my life may be dependant... this goes for my aircraft & my firearms. I don't like adjustable sights on my handguns, either. I have never had any fail either, but I don't want it to happen when I need it most... And I'm not asking about a sniper scope, either... John |

While it is a little lower than you asked about, IOR makes a 4x M1 scope. But they also make a 6x M2 scope as well. The glass is really good on them, even if they are slightly older optic designs. The only thing about the M1 (I haven't used a 6x IOR), is the eye relief is a bit short. I don't mind it myself on ARs, although it could be a problem on higher recoiling rifles.
While they don't offer it anymore, they used to offer one with the Dragunov reticle. I personally really like it and bought one used specifically for the reticle. The CQB is pretty good as well. I have never given the MP-8 reticle a try, but I don't see any problems with it and would probably like it if I gave one a try. |
