IOR SA engineers set out to design an optical system that would become the standard by which all others must be measured. By using different types of exotic optical glass, high transmission optical coatings, and some of the most innovative optical designs ever developed, these new riflescopes restore the IOR brand to its rightful position as in riflescope design and performance.

Apochromatic Objective Lenses and Exclusive Coatings

A problem faced by all optical designers, especially in higher power riflescopes, is chromatic aberration, an effect that appears as a bluish or yellowish "fringe" around the image. Most scope manufacturers use multiple lens elements in an effort to correct this problem. Although more cost effective, this method adds weight and complexity to the riflescope and only partially corrects the effecta result with which our optical designers were not satisfied.

Not willing to sacrifice performance, IOR engineers selected a premium, extra-low dispersion (ED) glass in lthe construction of the objective lenses. Eliminating the need for heavy compound lenses, these special apochromatic lenses (APOs) are used specifically to correct for color.IOR's apochromatic lens design dramatically reduces chromatic aberration while increasing contrast, resolution and light transmission.

Light transmission through the scope is vital to delivering a clear image to your eye. This is especially true in low light situations. Most high-end riflescopes feature fully multi-coated lenses using various types of coatings. Our optical engineers raised the bar by applying precision, broadband coatings that increase light transmission by an extra 3% over traditional fully multi-coated lens systems. This means the maximum amount of light possible reaches your eye.

IOR's Quick Target Acquisition Eyepiece

Our optical designers understand what it means to be hunting in the real world. The Quick Target Acquisition eyepiece has an amazingly large eyebox providing more room to move forward, backward, and side to side behind the scope getting you on-target faster and more reliably. And now, through the use of high-density glass that is precision manufactured in Meade's® Romanian facility, IOR's new eyepiece delivers a distortion-free mages ever offered in a riflescope.

Light Shield™ Super Lens Coatings

Our engineers designed a new lens coating called Light Shield™ to help control the elements. It resists water and fog build-up on exterior lens surfaces to ensure a clear field of vision in all weather conditions.

6x Magnification Range

Featuring IOR's innovative and patent-pending 2-cam zooming system, the 2-12,3-18 and 1.5-8 IOR scopes offer a 6x power range feat of engineering never before accomplished in the history of commercial riflescope production. It's made possible by an advanced optical and mechanical design inside the scope's optical system.The versatility and potential application for these scopes is incredible! Everything from hunting dangerous game at close range to ultra long-range target or varmint shooting is possible with these remarkable new scopes.

Windage and Elevation Dials

Often, the most challenging shots are the most gratifying, especially when you can count on your equipment. When field adjustments are necessary you need to have absolute confidence that your windage and elevation dials will put you dead on target IOR dials do just that. An innovative ball bearing and spring system provides precise and
repeatable adjustments throughout the entire range. Their new fingertip-style adjustment knobs make them easy to
adjust in arry weather conditions, even while wearing heavy gloves. They also feature a low-profile design with target
turret-style features and are offered in both one-quarter and one-eighth MOA or 1cm/100m versions, depending on the model.

Side Focus, Parallax Adjustments

More models in the new IOR line feature side-focus parallax adjustments. The parallax adjustment mechanism is mounted on the saddle area, instead of the objective bell which allows you to stay on targetwhile making parallax and fine focus adjustments. This focus mechanism is especially helpful on long-range targets.
