    Long Range Gas Gun Optics

    You might also want to look at the March-FX 5-42X56 Gen 2 with the shuriken turrets. It's closer to the ZCO in terms of size, weight and price. It has a wider elevation range at 40MIL instead of 35MIL and a wider FOV at 26° compared to 23° for the ZCO, if my records are correct.

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

    Next month at the PRS Expo, March will have some pre-production models of the March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with turrets on which you can write your come-ups. This is intended for PRS shooters who can record their come-ups for the next stage right on the turret using a dry-erase marker, and not...

    MK5-hd 5-25 vs 7-35×

    Now that you have dragged me into this thread, let's just set the record straight about mirage, F-class, and Super ED lenses. As was mentioned earlier and correctly, F-Class is all about magnification, especially as one ages. There is a thread that was started years ago on another forum in...

    Scoping out a Scope.

    Let me just add a thought here. You stated that you think you want illumination. Let me just say that unless you think you really need illumination because you will be shooting ELR in the dark, you might want to avoid illumination for the simple reason that it makes the lines of the reticle...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    Just some thoughts while we wait for the OP to update us. The rings had nothing to do with the problem. Every company can ship something with an issue that slips through QC. It's how the company handles the issue that is important. March is legendary in how they handle these rare issues...

    Rifle Scopes Long range scope

    Any decent riflescope will do to begin and get some experience. The mantra "buy once, cry once" is for children. You should buy wisely. If you are just starting off in F-Class, you had better brace yourself; it's a money pit. If you intend to do well and be competitive, you are going to...

    Rifle Scopes Long range scope

    As a long-time F-class shooter, I can answer your question. F-class is all about exacting precision and dealing with conditions and mirage. You definitely need an SFP riflescope and while a target dot will be fine, there are more sophisticated reticles used by many (most?) of the top shooters...

    Rifle Scopes What is the maximum magnification you use in a match? (Poll)

    Since the question was directed at PRS, NRL and steel shooters, I wasn't going to answer. Until I saw your answer. So, you shoot in F-class at 1000 yards with 16X magnification, and 600 yards @ 10-12X? Wow. How can you even see the rings and hold on them at that magnification? I have not...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    I guess I need to ask our Mercury Program aficionado @Faith7 exactly how close he needs to focus.

    March FX 4.5-28x52 FFP High Master

    It's got to be a pretty hard hit. I have one on my F-TR rifle, and it has never come apart. It's been to scores of matches, all around the continent. If it comes apart, it's because it was appropriate to do so.

    March FX 4.5-28x52 FFP High Master

    Let me address the throw lever thing. It is not an afterthought; it is actually cleverly designed. It is inexpensive, it is some type of polymer (plastic), it is light, and it is designed to breakaway if hit hard. This way, it will not mar the surface of the riflescope, and if it hits...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T6Xi 3-18x56 Review and comparison with NF ATACR 4-16x42, S&B US 3-20x50 and March 4.5-28x52

    I think you're talking about the new March-X 8-80X56 HM Majesta. It's the one with the Titanium finish and black accents. Yes, that is an incredible high magnification riflescope.

    Kowa 10.5 Genesis

    I disagree. The Kowa Prominar spotters with fluorite glass surpass the euro glass in IQ. I've looked through enough Swaros and others, comparing them to the Kowas. The Kowas are the top.

    Kowa 10.5 Genesis

    In terms of IQ (Image Quality), the Kowa Prominar series of spotters, featuring fluorite crystal glass are the top spotters, above all others. Kowa does not use fluorite crystal glass in their binoculars, but instead they use their XD glass, which is their version of ED or perhaps even Super ED...

    Do you run a SunShade and why or why not.

    I'll take a guess at your question. This is just conjecture on my part but I would say that manufacturers make the riflescope as long as it needs to be for the optical formula they are putting in the riflescope. Having the housing 3 inches longer would be viewed by many customers as a big...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T6Xi 3-18x56 Review and comparison with NF ATACR 4-16x42, S&B US 3-20x50 and March 4.5-28x52

    That was quite the review, well done, @Glassaholic. If I may offer a few thoughts on the March-FX 4.5-28X52. I get the focus on the technical/operational aspect of the riflescopes and you did a very thorough job there, but there is also the product presentation aspect, and by that, I mean...

    Do you run a SunShade and why or why not.

    I have a sunshade on all my riflescopes as well as my camera lenses. They protect the (expensive) objective lens element from contacting anything. They also keep out the rain, dust and so on, but it's mainly the contact protection for me. Also, I think the shooter who thought he could see...

    March FX 4.5-28x52 FFP High Master

    My 4.5-28X52 has the old turrets also, and they work just fine, for me. I do love the Shuriken turrets on my Majesta.
