IOR Benchrest 40x45 SFP

• Fixed 40x magnification: the high, constant power gives benchrest and target shooters a large, detailed sight picture for precise aiming on small targets at known distances.
• Side-focus parallax adjustment: adjustment from 20 m - Infinity helps keep the target and reticle on the same focal plane, reducing aiming error as distances change.
• 1/8 MOA target turrets: fine click values support careful zeroing and small point-of-impact corrections, which is especially useful when working for tight groups.
• 30 mm tube with generous adjustment range: the scope combines a rigid main tube with 60 MOA of elevation travel, giving more room for precise setup on dedicated target rifles.
• Fully multicoated optics and fast-focus eyepiece: the coatings help maintain contrast, while the fast-focus eyepiece lets the shooter sharpen the reticle quickly for a cleaner sight picture.

About the IOR Benchrest Series

The IOR Benchrest series is built for shooters who prioritize repeatable aiming, fine adjustment control, and a stable high-magnification image over broad versatility. Within the IOR lineup, this family sits squarely in the target and competition segment, where the emphasis is on deliberate shooting from supported positions rather than fast field use. These scopes are designed for benchrest rifles and other precision setups where targets are small, distances are known, and the shooter needs to read the aiming point with care.

Benchrest models typically combine high magnification, a Second Focal Plane reticle, and target-style adjustment systems that favor precise zeroing and measured corrections. The optical layout is intended to deliver a detailed image at long range, while side parallax adjustment helps refine focus and minimize apparent reticle shift. Mechanically, the series follows a straightforward design philosophy: a solid tube, clear turret indexing, and controls that suit slow, exact shot placement. For target shooters who want an optic dedicated to paper punching and group shooting, the Benchrest line focuses on precision-oriented features rather than general-purpose hunting scope compromises.

About the IOR Benchrest 40x45 SFP

The IOR Benchrest 40x45 SFP is a dedicated fixed-power benchrest riflescope built around one clear purpose: giving the shooter a highly detailed view of the target for careful, repeatable shot placement. Its 40x magnification is suited to formal target work where the rifle is shot from a rest and the priority is seeing fine target detail rather than scanning a wide area. Because the magnification is fixed, the optical system stays simple and consistent, which suits shooters who work at established distances and want the same sight picture every time they settle behind the rifle.

The Second Focal Plane reticle keeps the reticle visually fine at high magnification, so it covers less of the target and allows more precise aiming on small scoring rings or tiny group centers. With no illumination, the reticle layout remains uncluttered and purpose-built for daylight target shooting. The side-focus parallax adjustment from 20 m - Infinity is especially important on a 40x scope, as it helps the shooter tune out parallax error and sharpen the image for exact hold placement.

Mechanically, this model is configured for precision work. Capped target turrets with 1/8 MOA clicks allow small, controlled corrections, while the available 60 MOA elevation range gives useful setup flexibility on target rifles. A 30 mm tube, fully multicoated lenses, nitrogen filling, and waterproof, fogproof, shockproof construction round out a scope intended for disciplined range use where optical clarity and repeatable adjustment matter most.

About IOR

IOR is a Romanian optics manufacturer headquartered in Bucharest. The company was founded in Bucharest in 1936 and was nationalized in 1948, giving it a long industrial history in optical production. Alongside commercial sporting optics, IOR manufactures military optical equipment for infantry, artillery, and armored vehicles, which places the brand in a broader tradition of rugged, application-specific optical design.

In the sporting segment, IOR produces riflescopes for hunting and sport shooting, as well as tactical riflescopes and reflex sights. The company also states that its riflescopes use German Schott glass, reflecting a focus on established optical materials for image quality. This mix of military manufacturing experience and dedicated sporting-optics development gives IOR a distinct place among European scope makers, particularly for shooters looking for specialized target and precision-oriented designs.
