Has anyone purchased a scope through optics trade EU and what were they like to deal with and are they reliable

I have bought 2 scopes through them.
They are reliable and scrupulously honest.
I have had one fully refunded when a delivery date couldn't be met

Support local! I purchased mine through CRM gunsmiths in cairns and had great customer service.

By the time you add freight, exchange rate and possibly GST; depending on the cost of the item, you would not be that much better off.

If I could find who stocks IOR Valdada scopes in Australia I would buy local but can’t find dealer

If you are buying an IOR, then Optics Trade are your only option. Anyone here will just do an import like you are.

Hi Shane, if you are after an IOR scope, I have an IOR 4-28X50 Recon, Ist FFP Mil/Mil 40mm tube in Spuhr 1 piece mounts in excellent condition. Bought it before I started in F Class, only been on a 308 and barely used when I figured out it was not the best option for F Class. It's a great scope but since it's doing nothing I have been thinking about selling it. Let me know if you (or anyone else) is interested. Failing that, I purchased mine through the Shot Show some years back from the then Australian importer who was a bloke from Brighton Vic. He was a firearm industry fella. I can't recall his surname now except that it was a Greek heritage surname. When the scope was ready I had to pick it up from Gun Works at Tullamarine, so you might try them. At that time, IOR was also being sold by Precision Defence Industries so you might try them as well. IOR make a scope that would suit F Class - the Invuctus. If that became available in Australia, I'd be interested. IOR's are up there with Khales, both have Schott Glass.

The Invictus will need a 40m mount.
If you do a bit of looking on SSAA gun sales there was a Spuhr mount on there a fair bit cheaper.
