    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    That would be my guess also, at least for now.

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    Since we are talking about the Gen II, here are a couple of pictures of the turrets taken during the Pro/Am.

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    As I understand it, the shuriken turrets are not a straight up replacement for the turrets on the March-X 10-60X56 HM. To have the shuriken turrets on this riflescope would require a change in the way the scope body is machined. DEON did this for the 5-40X56 when they produced a Gen II model...

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    Thank you fpr pointing out my mistake. Yes, I did mean non-translatable turrets are more complicated. I fixed my post, thanks to your note.

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    I understand what you are saying. Your first sentence says it all: "a tree gets in the way in PRS." The FML-WBR was designed specifically for PRS, by a PRS competitor, and installed in a riflescope optimized for PRS (writable turrets, proper zoom range, extra wide angle.) If you can use the...

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    I actually posed that question to DEON some time back and the answer I was given was that non-translatable turrets are more complicated (more moving parts) and DEON is more interested in robustness and longevity in their riflescopes. This is why they have 4mm thick walls and they are using...

    Such as? What trade-offs are involved with reducing/eliminating flare?

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    Wow, so many questions. The optical upgrade from the original 5-42X56 to the Gen II has to do with improving the IQ when the scope is near the limits of adjustments. From the official website "The image quality has also been further refined especially near the maximum elevation amount." The...

    I'm sure you will like it, the Gen II is awesome. And the thing is built like an Abrams tank, I'm here to tell you.

    The rifle, ammo, and riflescope she used were exceptional. I shot that rifle during the rezero episode, it was a dream to shoot and so precise.

    The week following the PR Expo, the team attended the GAP Grind Pro/Am match at K&M Shooting Complex in Finger, TN. A write up was posted this morning at the Marchscopes.com website. https://marchscopes.com/news/20285/

    I didn't think you were casting aspersions on March. You clearly stated that you were worried about the quality of the glass (sight unseen, I get it) and I tried to assuage your worries. Also, this is an open forum, so I was writing for general consumption also.

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    Actually, these are pictures from just 2 days ago at Twisted Barrel, where Mari Morita from DEON in Japan shot with the March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets and sporting the FML-WBR reticle. Some will recognize the 800 yard KYL berm. 5 shots, 5 hits. Then below that is the 1-mile shot.

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    I hear you. I don't think you will be disappointed in the glass quality. There were plenty of folks who looked through the demonstrators at the PR Expo and they were all impressed. I realise this is just hearsay and me saying it, but that's what I saw. Next up is the Pro-Am this coming...

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    There were five demonstrator Gen 2 scopes at PR-Expo, three with the writable turrets. They will also be at the K&W Pro-Am event this coming weekend.

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    The Gen 2 comes in three flavors: regular shuriken turrets MIL, regular shuriken turrets MOA, or writable shuriken turrets MIL. If you want one with the writable shuriken turrets, you can have it with the current reticles (FML-TR1, FML-3, FML-MT) and illumination, or with the new FML-WBR...

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24 and NX8 Replacement

    The idea behind a wider field of view is that the image you see in the riflescope is larger and is magnified, says at 4.5X yet you see a lot more in the eyepiece. The 25° measure is the equivalent of what it would be at 1X. Let me explain. Your 3-24X52 has an FOV of 20°. The specs show that...

    DEON is sending a representative from Japan to the PRS Expo and the ProAm to introduce this new version of the 5-42X56 Gen II. She will be in the Bullet Central area at PRS Expo. If you are there, stop by and visit with her. https://marchscopes.com/news/20162/

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24 and NX8 Replacement

    The March 3-24X52 has a more critical depth of field than the 42mm version because of the larger objective. The 3-24X42 is a favorite for hunters, but some wanted the capability to hunt longer hours, so the 52mm version was produced. If one of your criteria is a wider field of view, the...
