I have been using March scopes for 6+ years now. They are pricey, indestructible, highly reliable and have phenomenal optics.
My newest is a March-X 10-60X56 HM, and it sets the standard for optical glass.
They are difficult to get as March is a small Japanese company which hand assembles all their scopes and test the snot out of them before shipping.
What specs have you set out for a scope?

Pretty much what FTR Shooter said, I had a 10 X 60 on my bench gun.

I just received a few prototypes of new March scopes including one of the first 1.5-15x42 SFP models. I need to spend more time with it, but barring something unforeseen, they will do really well with this scope.

ILya Are they on 30 mm tubes? That would be nice. I am still in disbelief as to how many new scopes come in large 34mm tubes for hunting use.

I have been hammering on two of the 10,-60x52 for 5 plus years now. 17 lb. Bench guns. No issues. Dave
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

It is a pretty sophisticated design, so there is a lot of glass in there. It will be an interesting design for March. It focuses down to 10 meters, so it will have a lot of applications from hunting to airguns to F-AR. It has about 150 MOA of adjustment range, so I am about to pop it onto my 300 Blackout bolt action pistol and see how far I can lob subsonics with it. I have a 50MOA mount which should get me to around 750 yards. ILya

ILya I'd love to hear more. I've been very happy with the ones I own. I plan to buy more.

Very interesting. MSRP? Any idea if they are a $1500 scope or a $3500 scope?
