Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting LR Hunting Scope Help

The more I think in this the more my budget grows. I'm having a hard time convincing myself that the Leupold MK6 3-18 wouldn't be about perfect in this role. The only downside I can see if the chunky 34mm tube might look a little odd on this rifle but it is short, it's light and has usable reticles.

I wouldn't buy at msrp, but I do have access to them at a sizable discount. The one on my AR15 has been superb.

I am also seriously considering the March 3-24x42.

You can make a zero stop for the swfa. I have the 3-12 and 4-18 lrhs scopes and the 3-15 swfa. For hunting the g2/3 reticle is MUCH easier to see in low light. The 3-12 is much more compact and lighter. All of them are good optically.

At the risk of getting flames cast my way that might wound my precious feelers......... I agree!

For the money an glass the Burris MTAC 4.5-14 is a great scope 30mm tube you can pick one up on eBay for around 325$ I had one an wish I had it back

i shoot a bushnell elite 4200 6x24x40ao. its as clear as anything else i've owned.i also have the same scope in a 4x16x40a0.they are hard to beat for brightness.

Mallardaddict you still thinking march or has the direction changed.

March 3-24 is enroute currently. Mine is new production based on the 6283 mil spec versus their old 6400 spec. 6400 was the old artillery spec as being close enough for that use as it equates to .97 mil per 10 clicks.


Unfortunately it wasn't publicized well and guys were puzzled why their scope didn't track properly. All has been fixed now and from the 2 sample I have handled they are awesome in a light rifle dialing role.

The former is an easy fix....

I have had the snipershide shim kit in my 3-15 since before the hose gasket trick was revealed.

When it shows up post a couple pics of it on the shermanator.

You weren't joking the old man showed up smiling like a kid at a candy factory. Pretty cool and thanks again.

Fred,

I'm glad it worked out for both of us. I really liked the glass and reticle in that scope but I have too many milrad scopes to swap to MOA. Your dad is a good man.

Ya he is. He's all jazzed up. He told me last night " you got get him down to shoot and drink some beer".

That is a guarantee

The new March 3-24 is on my 7 Sherman Short and I couldn't be happier. All I had sitting loose was some Burris Tactical 6 screw rings so they will be replaced soon.

So far I'm getting 3/8" 5rd groups from the 162 eld-m at 3100 fps and still need to play with seating depth a bit to see if it will tighten any.

All up the gun weighs right at 8.3lbs so it should be a good mountain rifle with the ability to reach when needed.

I need to find out more about March scopes I guess -- they are an investment aren't they.

The 7 mm Sherman Short is also interesting!

Also, very good looking rifle.

Looks good and sounds like it is performing exceptionally well!
