Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles If you could pick one scope.....?

Scopes are for steering bullets and nothing can hang with a 6x MQ Fixed Fhuqker. I may own more than one scope.(grin)

Hint..........................

Meopta MeoPro 3.5-10x44 #4 reticle

A Corvette is said to be slower than a Geo Metro? If it is in your price range, check it out first.

For hunting, all my rifles wear a M8 6X42. I have never needed more.

If I were to try one it’d likely be their FFP 52mm objective model. I’m a fan of open center/ floating dot reticles. March’s FML-1 reticle suffers from a heavy 0.1 MIL center dot. I don’t get the FML-T1. It appears as a peculiar hodgepodge of compromises. In this price range the Kahles with Finn Accuracy’s MSR2 reticle has my almost complete attention. The 10 oz weight penalty is a small price to pay in this class scope. For reference, a Kahles displaced a Tangent Theta on my Ryan Pierce built 28N.

I recognize that you're talking an almost entirely different animal with a 30mm tubed, SFP, 42mm objective.

I shoot 6x MQ's on everything from High Zoot Precision Air Rifles,to all things Rimfire and of course Centerfire.

There's no equal.

Hint...................

It looks like the Leupold 2.5-8 gets a lot of love here. We got ours around 1990, both went on moderate weight ( 9 pound) magnum rifles ( one on a .375 AI, the other on a .338 WM). Both worked flawlessly until they were replaced with a little higher power scopes (3.5-10). The 2.5-8’s, reside in QD base/rings...zero’d and ready for service! memtb

Leupold 6 x 36.

+1

I've yet to see a 2.5-8x Reupold track or hold zero and have been around piles of 'em. The 3.5-10x,is routinely superior...but PALES to a 6x MQ Fixed Fhuqker,whether 1" or ANY of the 390mm version(s). BT/DT and have all the T-shirts.

Hint.................

I can’t vouch as to there ability to track....as in adjust turrets for a shot, and then return. We merely zero’d, and rarely had to re-adjust, said zero! With our new (to us) 3.5-10’s.....they appear to track well. Of course, we don’t turn the turrets much.....as most of our shots ar3 inside 400 yards. memtb

Butch, I’m not familiar with March, aside from seeing a few on PRS competition rifles. What do you like about March? What attributes do you see them having that make them a good choice for a hunting optic? 😎

1 scope? Probably either a 6x36 w/ LR Duplex or 2.5-8x36 with B&C reticle.

You poor ignorant incredibly stupid fuuck...... the fail to perform in sub zero temps too!!!! Haha


Notice the dumb tape and big stupid turrets..... tuck your boo boo lip back in and pretend you’ve killed something besides a July Sitka buck or kelp fed bear.... haha

Guy??? haha Well, the name is gay for starters.....

I know that is my first criteria when I buy a scope.

Yes, for sure!! Kinda like rifles. Tikka? 270 etc.....

I guess I would expect a response like that from you, "GUY".
March was started to build a scope eliminating POI shift with superior optics. If you are familiar with lenses, you will recognize the ED glass. Engineers assemble the scopes, not assembly line folks. I don't know of anybody else that makes a 10 time variable. 2.5X x 25X for example.
They are expensive, but that was not stated that it mattered in the OP's post. I have used a 45X March in competition and have shot other peoples rifles with various models of the March.
That is my choice of scopes and I don't believe I jumped anybody's AZZ for using something else.

Oh never experienced this poi shift....

I can.(grin)

I've bought over 100 Reupolds through the years,have shot 100's on top of that and their elder version(s),trump new. The 2.5-8x's were once "mainstays" of sorts,due both their aesthetics and mass...but I've simply never seen 'em be worth a fhuqk,upon any platform,for any application. I tended to drive the 6x42 as a Utilitarian default and sadly,they too are now pieces of schit.

A scope's SOLE purpose is to steer bullets and Reupold is an easy pass,in this day and age.......................
