I don't think I need illuminated. Do you suggest it?
As a second optical plane scope.I think there reticles run on the thin side.
A lighted one will insure that you never loose it in twilight.....
Trust uncle Koshkin....The build quality is absolutely superb.
I think there tactical knobs have the best "feel" of any I have tried. And I own like one of everything....
I have two March scopes not the models your asking about... on 1000 yard BR guns,
They track and click as good or better than anything else I have. And I cant kill them.
Cant say what sending one in would be like as i have not needed to.

Uncle Koshkin? That's a first, but thank you.
I looked over my noted to see which March scopes I have tested over the years and here is the list: 3-24x42FFP, 2.5-25x42, 3-24x52FFP, 2.5-25x52, 1-10x24, 1-8x24FFP, 5-40x56, 1-8x24 Shorty and currently testing a prototype 5-42x56FFP. I also plan to revisit 3-24x52FFP and 1-8x24 Shorty with different reticles this year.
Their SFP reticle are fairly thin. Their FFP reticles are a little on a thick side. Both work for their intended purposes.
In terms of turret feel, I think TT is better. March definitely has the best feel with compact turrets that I have ever experienced and, after TT, the second easiest Zero Stop I have ever seen.
Basically, in my opinion, TT currently has the best turret feel overall. March has the best compact turret. ZCO has the best locking turret.
