We've finally decided that an IoR 16x42 scope is what we need to top off either our 7mm Rem Mag or the 'special .308' Ovenpaa is working on for us. They seem to be available in the US but we can't locate a European supplier for them. Any of you big brained oomans know of an EU supplier?

Ring them, not everything is on their site.

Failing that I reckon you are looking at second hand in this country.

Lets try again, there is a shop close to my place who sells IOR. Yours is not on stock but they might be able to order it.

We'd buy from a European supplier.

Some US suppliers won't sell to the UK, citing ITAR regulations (which is pointless given that IoR scopes are made in Europe), and even if we find a US supplier that does export to the UK we don't see the point of getting stung with a VAT bill too

I seem to remember someone on another forum recommending a dealer in the Netherlands who has been appointed to supply IOR to the UK.......
