Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics March or Bender Scope

Deon Optical gave us the excellant Nightforce lineup.

I have there 8X80 scope and it is the best scope I own.

When I have it turned up above 50 I need to have it mounted in a gun rest due to my shaking.

At above 60 I can notice the light transmission diminishing slightly and at 80 it grays a little but what can you expect from a 80 power hubble telescope on a rifle.

I do not have any experience with S&B & Henzolt scopes but it beat the nightforce scope that was priced the same and it beats my swaro power to power.

In my opinion it is the best scope I have ever looked through

Can not waite until I return back to the states on the 1st of July. My new March 10x60 tactical is waiting for me on top of my safe. I bought it without even handling or looking through the glass on one. Just heard rave reviews from everyone that has one. All these people can not be wrong by saying how great they are

That is the way I bought mine and I wished I had the money to buy another one.
A Hunting model.

Now we can't let it slip by that you are saying something is better than a Swarovski; especially when it cost less. Aren't you ashamed?!

When I posted my personal experience with scopes which I purchased several folks, who probably never looked through a scope costing over $500, told me "you get what you pay for". And some did it with the utmost animosity.

I maintain you get what you shop for by comparing and beleiving what folks who actually post their experinces with the optics in question.

I took my March scope to my favorite gun shop and let the salesman and any customers who wanted to look through it do so.

They had a Nightforce scope priced the same as my march, set at the same power about 8 people looked through both of the scopes and a couple of people said they saw no difference between the scopes but all of the salesman in the store said that the March was the better scope.

As for My Swaro yes it is a less expensive scope and I did not take that into consideration but power for power the Swaro set at 24 and the March set at 24 everyone that has looked through them side by side prefers the March.

Cost aside I like the March scope better just my opinion about what I own and have looked through.
Some day I would like to look through a Henzolt and S&B but I have not seen anyone at the range with them yet maybe some day

If you don't mind and you have a way to do it, would you put some kind of eye chart or line chart about 500 yards distant and see what magnification setting is required for each.

When I did that with my Nightforce and z5 Swaro the Nightforce needed 12X to resolve the detail while the z5 required 16 1/2X. Of course they are intended for different things, but the magnification should not be that far apart.

I have already done something like that with the Swaro and the March and through my scopes it takes less magnification to see clearly with the March at 600 yards.

Although I do not remember the exact difference.
