    March 4.5 28 and SB 320 owners I need advice

    I get what you are saying about a direct comparison. My main point is that I think not properly referencing the riflescopes when they are used in a comparison, is a disservice to the reader. Assuming that everyone is familiar with the objective lens sizes in the scopes compared is misplaced...

    March 4.5 28 and SB 320 owners I need advice

    Let me see. The USO ER-25 5-25X58 has a 58mm objective. The S&B T96 Polar 3-12X54 has a 54mm objective. The Minox ZP5 5-25X56 has a 56mm objective. The March-FX 4.5-28X52 has a 52mm objective. So you compared the brightness @ 10X in 4 different scopes all with different objective sizes and the...

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    The March 1.5-15X42 SFP has 6 reticles available: 3 MOA : MTR-3, MTR-4, MTR-5; and 3 MIL: FD-1, FD-2, MML. As you point out, they are all subtending on 10X. I would suggest you contact March through the website, and specify which reticle you would like to see based on 15X. At least tell them...

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    I find that looking through a riflescope on a tripod is nowhere close to the experience you get when looking through it on a rifle, especially when it's adjusted to fit you. I do a lot of testing and comparisons on a tripod, and I know it is frustrating. I use the tripod to be able to take...

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    They keep demonstrating that they are very responsive and stand behind their products. They certainly do not give you a runaround and blame you for their problems. In my book, everyone makes mistakes, and I don't blame them for that, as long as they own up to the mistakes and remedy the situation.

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    My Mitutoyo is the CD-S6"CT Absolute Solar Digimatic. That's what it says on the paper. I bought it from Amazon 9 years ago. It was $150 at the time, which was years before the runaway bidenflation. So it's probably worth a grtand now. Or nothing because there are other ones. Anyway, I...

    Right. But to be clear, my Mitutoyo did not cost a grand. It's been several years now, but I think it was a few hundred dollars.

    I can't get anything past you. Well done. And very funny.

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    That is indeed very strange. I believe March states that its engineering tolerances are within 0.00mm and +0.05mm. So for a 34mm tube, you would see between 34.00mm and 34.05. I measured my March-X 10-60X56HM with a 34mm tube and it was between 34.01mm and 34.03 up and down the tube. I did...

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    I have the March 1.5-15X42 SFP; I do not have, nor have I ever tested the new DFP model. I tested the FFP one time, and sent it to another tester. My understanding is that the optical system (the lenses) is the same between the SFP and the DFP/FFP versions. I mounted my 1.5-15X42 on an AR-10...

    Yeah, the weight went up by a whole ounce and a bit. From 29.8 to 31.04. The shuriken knobs do look tall on that scope, because it is so short. We are used to somewhat different proportions, I guess.

    Crap, now I'm envious. Looking forward to some reviews.

    Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15x42 inquiry

    Just a quick note on the fast lever, or throw lever, as you call it. I have been using one on my competition rifle for years. This is the bestest design lever I have seen. Let me explain why. - It is made of polymer (plastic) whereas others are made of aluminum (aluminium) or other metal...

    Rifle Scopes Diopter adjustment help

    No. I don't understand that you're not confirming or infirming my answer to you first main question. You asked if it was normal, and I hazzared a guess about why it would be normal and you ignored it.

    Rifle Scopes Diopter adjustment help

    No. It means you're probably a younger person with great eyes that adjust easily. To refine the diopter setting, you might want to take VERY QUICK peeks at the reticle and will probably be very happy with the diopter set at or near 0. The diopter setting has nothing to do with parallax or...

    Rifle Scopes Diopter adjustment help

    What is important is to not have anything in the background that your eye will focus on. So putting a sheet of paper in several inches in front of you scope or aiming at a blank wall will do the trick. Aiming at the sky is another, but if there are clouds, that could be an issue. You want the...

    Kowa TE-80XW

    Yeah, that's not how it works. Anyway, I was playing with my new Smartphone adapter on my Kowa 883 and took these two pictures. The first one is with the TE-80XW 35X and the second one is with the TE-11WZ 25-60X eyepiece set at 35X (as best I could.) Notice the size of the circles. The day...
