Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

You made the title comparing it to a ZCO which I have a ton of experience with, same with most other brands mentioned here. Questions need to be asked because IMO there is more to consider when spending north of $3,000 on a riflescope that is not mentioned. How easy is it to get behind, is the DOF short with a finicky parallax on this model like some other March models with a high erector system. How does it track? Does it have distortion on the edges like many scopes with wide FOV?

Why warranty makes a big difference is because our experience with Mxxxx for many customers here. Their warranty was abysmal at this price point and customers were waiting up to 6 months with no update on their scopes. We won’t carry a manufacturer that has such poor support. I’m not saying March and Deon are like that, but those things I mention matter IMO

Fair enough, but the question is does this work for "me" is the March my TT/ZCO/SnB? It's the "My" in the title on the post. So in other words is the March MY top tier pick? I'm not experienced with a ZCO but always wanted one, and still may get one some day. And I'm not suggesting people go buy a March instead of a ZCO, i.e. cutting into your sales... What I am saying is that I have enough experience around high end optics to know what I like, and what probably works. As well it's sort of a PSA that there are optics out there that could fit that premium category, and if you look around I'm not the only one saying this.

I do appreciate the feedback that people are chiming in with, and I agree that warranty issues are a big part of a purchase.

Thanks 👍

Kinda looks like a Sheridan...either Blue Streak or Silver Streak. They were more expensive than a Benjamin. Buddy of mine had the Sheridan, I had the Benjamin. HIs was .20, mine was .22. 10 pumps was up to magnum velocity! We lived on the outskirts of town on our own acreage but back then (1960) no one really cared if you climbed their fence. We killed a shit load of cottontails, jack rabbits, lizards, road runners, quail, dove, horny toads, hawks, skunks......some loose chickens MIGHT have been saved a grisly death by skink or coyote. Thanks for bring back an almost forgotten memory for an old man!

Indeed it is a Bluestreak! Not out of the woods yet with this old girl and she developed some serious issues the day after I posted this range report. I'm working on it.....she hits with authority that's for sure!

Distance is 23 yards. Offhand needs some serious work.....I chrony'd it the other day and it is running rather anemic. 485 FPS was the best it would do, but that was only a few shots for a test. New seals and a solder on the barrel that had separated. I put the peep sight on years ago as the original fell off and it actually contributes to the dreaded separation. Bought this new in 1986 and round count is probably close to 6.5 billion....of all my rifles, pistols and other gadgets, this brings a smile to my face like no other. I feel like a kid every time I shoot! I'll keep working on it and see if I can get a little more performance from Betsy. Good luck and good shooting fellow goon squad members!

^^^ This is a good question. To be fair it would be nice to have some examples of issues, there could be, but I have not seen very much online? What I have read is there is very little in the way of repair orders with March. But these are complex electro optical devices and I have had issues with many optics that I had to warranty like my Kahles, Leupold, NF, Premier. These things get used and will/can break down.

In no way am I saying ZCO is not a good brand either, I would love to have one some day, I just got a deal on this March and commenting on it's quality.
