IOR Valdada1x/4x32mm Pit Bull Tactical Rifle Scope

Over the past few years, IOR Valdada has continued to push the envelope of optical design. Their achievements include the first 6- and 7-fold magnification increase scopes, te innovative MP8 reticles and the wide 40mm tubes. For 2009, Valdada unveiled an innovative 1x/4x32mm tactical scope named the Pit Bull at the SHOT Show.

Unlike conventional variable-power designs, it does not zoom from 1x to 4x, and there is no magnification in between. However, while ELCAN's design doesn't resemble a conventional scope with its beefy base and external adjustments, IOR's newest design has a conventional look.

Built on a beefy 35mm main tube, this new optic is quite short at 7.2 inches. One of the features this scope has is the ability to switch quickly from 1x to 4x. When snapped onto 1x, it gives the shooter an incredibly wide (144 feet at 100 yards) field of view.

This new scopes FOV is huge! Kick it to 4x and the FOV is still 38 feet at 100 yards, compared to the S&B's 32 feet at 100 meters. Due to its design, it can be utilized like a red-dot sight when set on 1x with its reticle illuminated. Thanks to its enormous field of view, it should prove to be very quick on close or moving targets. Move to 4x and you have a magnified optic well able to identify or engage distant targets.
