School me on optics for PRS-style long range

Forgot about that one , had a 1-4 , 15 ish years ago . The lenses had a colored tinge to it which wasn't horrible but it had issues holding 0 .

The 3-18 they released 8 - 10 years ago was a total shit show with the internals in the erector shedding teeth when dialing elevation .

There is other stuff out there in the same price range without tempting fate . Seen 8 or 10 IORs take a shit over the years at SRM .

Yep. Craig Monroe and I both had the 3-18. We drove down to Raton and were doing a quick zero check before the match. I was having issues. He was having issues. Rounds all over the place. Finally mine just goes blurry. Can’t remember if his did. Both our 3-18’s ate it at the same time. So we basically drove to NM for nothing. Lol. IOR replaced them but I sold my replacement NIB and figured I’d just stay away. There were at least a few guys on SH that reported the same.
