Romanian PSO-1 style reticle. IOR is producing the following models of rifle scopes for the commercial market. The scopes are produced in batches and thus not all of them are always available on the market. Since early 2000s I.O.R. has started to produce very extravagant tactical scopes with technical solutions not often found by other brands.

In 1976, the first production contract was awarded for 47,074 units, and first deployed in 1978. [1]
The optic has two standard reticles: both are a cross, feature a range finder out to 600 m (656 yd) for 5.56x45 and 800 m (875 yd) for 7.62x51, where they differ is in the bulletdrop design, where the one called CX5395/CX5396 uses circles to denote the range, while the other called CX5455/CX5456 uses lines and also features lines for windage.
