IOR M2 4X24 for .223 MP9 Illum Reticle
- Thread starter 92FS Inox
- Start date
This is not so simple. First, elevation is cammed for NATO 5.56. There are many versions of this round from various countries, all interchangeable for functionality, however trajectories and accuracy vary. I have never used a cammed elevation scope and am not a fan, as other factors affecting actual trajectory are barrel length and manufacturing tolerance variations.
Service Rifle used to be shot with standard rifles, iron sights, then Elcans and now, anything goes. The IOR M2 may be the best 4X sight available, but the shooter will probably have to aim off a bit, especially at 500. There is the advantage of quick adjustment, with no memory or notes, except for aim off and the optics are high quality, as is construction.
Debate?

With a 4x, in many more situations than not , you'll be in the ballpark.
While cammed scopes can have ammo worked for them (after all it's just the BC and the velocity, no?)
I have all the pro's for them. If you want pinpoint accuracy, for 500yds, then you definately need a more substantial magnification! They were desidned for engaging targets in a quick manner.
With my 4x32 M1 I find that even @ 100yds - shooting for high precision scores to be rather difficult. I guess it bears on the type of reticle as well. I have a MP9, and I don;t think that a Dragunov would have fared better.
