    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    The idea was just to make it available straight from the factory, because why should you have to tape on a turret wrap when it could be done straight from the manufacturer. It’s just one evolution of what should be the norm in scope design moving forward. There is some discussion internally...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    The G2 addresses the exact issue your referring to here and I’ve seen no issues running 42x when I decided to, as for the high ratio for magnification we haven’t seen any issue with the 5-42 and unless I’m mistaken there has been absolutely no tracking issues with the assembly that’s used in the...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    I can do a cad rending based on the information we have, we took the distance visible from edge to edge at 25x on various scope models. I have the raw data if you’d like it shoot me a pm, the reason that specific thing hasn’t been published is March and the team don’t want to directly publish...

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

    You won’t have to worry about if the March can keep up with those options, the March is second to NONE in glass resolution and clarity! I’ve owed them all and the March in my opinion has the best glass of a Theta/ZCO/March

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    Let me start by saying I am the designer of the FML-WBR reticle so I have bias to what optic I prefer between the two. But I will say it’s with good reason, before I was involved in the Rudge reticle I competited IN PRS with just about every scope on the market and I can honestly say March has...

    Check out the scope in a video with the mdt guys and Mari from March optics.

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

    At this time production is estimated to happen around Jan and availability will be March, just sell one of those “other” scopes lol. This isn’t official but just what I know currently, officially I’m sure March will post the production timeline.

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

    The scope bell isn’t to much of an issue as most of the sets come with a ring that just screws into the sunchade attachment location, however having an adapter piece that has to be added to the eyepiece is less than ideal. I’d like to see March machine the design into the eye piece assembly like...

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

    If only someone on the team would have said this as well… perhaps not include them but make sure the design is integrated and available. Hard to include another companies product with yours directly.

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

    Unfortunately there are patent limitations regarding tooless designs which is why the Theta is the scope that has it currently, once those run out I bet you see many companies adapt that into their optics.

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

    I can also confirm I have no edge distortion in my gen 2 with FML-WBR reticle at any magnification range.

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

    I by no means want to promote March by putting others down and in so many ways optics design is a management of compromise but I will say the March 5-42 is absolutely a tier 1 level optic and should without question be in the discussion of just how good the optic is. Alot of optic opinion is...

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

    I run most of my stages in the 22-24 range due to the large fov the gen II offers, I shoot the movers usually in the 18-20 power range which is around 15-17 in other scopes in the class. I have on troop lines run the optic in quite a bit more especially if it’s not a time crunch stage and the...

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

    At this time that is correct, I can inquire about potentially having it available in other models but I don’t think this is the plan at this time. The writable turrets are also usable in a hunting situation if you have some known distances you wanted to setup elevation dials for ahead of time.

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

    The writable turrets are something you would use on every stage that has multiple targets for prs, virtually every competitor marks the turrets now for targets it makes dialing and such much faster. The writable turrets are the exact same as the Shuriken internally they just do not lock...

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

    There’s a reason March has stuck with translating turrets, I believe Denys will elaborate on this further. As for parallax the 5-42 gen II with my reticle has been on my rifles for prs for some time in both train up and actual matches and I can comfortably say the parallax is very forgiving. I...

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

    Man if you aren’t telling the truth here… no matter what you do in a design there will always be some debate about what it should have had or could have had. The FML-WBR (Rudge Reticle) was intended to be very simple while bringing some feature changes and additions to the market. I always liked...

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

    Thank you for the input on the reticle I appreciate that! I didn’t take your comments as throwing shade on March we understand in the prs market March isn’t as widely known as in benchrest and fclass. With that being said I will say March is actually known for have world class glass and I think...

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

    My name is Brandon Rudge, I am the designer behind the FML-WBR and wanted to come in and offer my assistance with any questions. I also have been directly advising March on the PRS market which resulted in the writable turret version of the 5-42 Gen II. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions I...

    Accessories BulletSeeker 17S Adapter

    Who have you this adaptor file? I’m assuming the guys at longshots camera? That’s identical to the one I made for them to toss around. If you want the file that uses the original hardware for the unit let me know. I’ll send it over!
