How are these optics? Clarity reliability and tracking???
Posted By: FTR_Shooter Re: March scopes - 03/07/20
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.

They are very good. Which model are you looking at?

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.

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.

Yes, 30mm tube. Weight is around 22 ounces. 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.

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?
Posted By: FTR_Shooter Re: March scopes - 09/17/20
I don't think MSRP has been finalized yet.

The following link will take you to a picture on the March 1.5-15X42 mounted on my AR-10.
