IOR makes nice scopes with superb optics.

IOR makes nice scopes with superb optics.
2-12x36 has been around for a while, so whatever issues they could have had, have probably been worked out by now.
I am not real big on BDC knobs for the same reasons that have been voiced in this thread already. If you are gong to stick to one load, you should be able to make it work for you, with creative sight-in distances.
SCAR 17 is an acceptably accurate rifle from what I hear, but I can't help but think that with a rifle of this type using the reticle for hold over and wind compensation is not a bad option. IOR's MP-8 is not a bad way to go. It is a simple enough reticle.
However, I would probably lean toward FFP designs for that, like the 2.5-10x42FFP IOR you mentioned.
Something like this could also work well and let you do more with the reticle:
The Bushnell 3-12x44 with G2DMR is also a good option.
Both of these will not be as good as IOR in terms of optics, so keep that in mind. If I were looking for an IOR scope to put on SCAR 17, I would probably give aclose look to this:
