    If I may be so bold as to educate the writer, Ian Davis a tiny bit..

    Removable IR serves 2 purposes:

    1. Modular design allows replacement of defectives without removing and re-zeroing the rifle. I/R rheostats are statistically one of the weakest parts of any IR scope.

    2. Modular design allows removal to fit an NV cage attachment.

    If he'd only asked eh?...

    I saw the review too, thought it was good. I did wonder too about why remove the IR bit, but it makes sense now.

    The basic design has no I/R and our budgeting and pricing was based on non-I/R. Unbelievable as it seems our aim is to provide better value for UK customers so we added I/R, Mounts and sunshade out of our margin to provide the best VFM. To add 3 more skus is not practical and in all honesty the vast majority appreciate the I/R as an option.

    Remember that the vast majority of shooters are sheep and would sooner have a big name brand that's junk than one of ours. We are Johnny nobody and as such the shops wont stock their shelves with our goods hence the reason for a limited product range.

    Lloyd of B.A.R and Tony Belas have been invaluable to us in helping with design input and forecasting
