    Rifle Scopes March FML reticle crosshair thickness?

    I tend to get more use out of SFP scopes as I use a rangefinder and Strelok Pro to calculate clicks for elevation and windage. I would certainly entertain a FFP scope like the 5-40x56 if the price was similar to a SFP. Frankly, I'd love to look through a variety of scopes before I make up my...

    Rifle Scopes March FML reticle crosshair thickness?

    The new March FX-5-42x56 sounds like one heck of a scope, but I'm the type of guy that abhors paying the premium for the latest and greatest (cars, electronics, and now riflescopes, I guess). The Non-illuminated 10-60x56HM with a Dot reticle is looking more and more like the best option for me.

    Rifle Scopes March FML reticle crosshair thickness?

    Any reason the illumination feature can add over $500 to the price of a scope? I can see how it would add to the cost, but $500? I plan on putting the scope on an air rifle and often shoot at night because the wind is usually more calm at that time. I shine a light on the targets to make them...

    Image Quality....of course. I've been scanning the SWFA site at March scopes and the 10-60 High Master is slightly less expensive than the 5-40. I suspect both would more than meet my target shooting needs. I'm a bit surprised that the better glass can be found for less money.

    Rifle Scopes March FML reticle crosshair thickness?

    @Denys I have two questions. 1. What does IQ stand for in terms of optics? 2. Is there a difference between the ED glass in a 5-40x56 and the glass in a High Master scope?

    Rifle Scopes March FML reticle crosshair thickness?

    The link Denys posted has been awesome. I think I need to bump up to a 5-40x56. March doesn't seem to make a thinner FML scope at the 24x max magnification. The reticle on the 5-40x56 seems to be half the thickness.

    Rifle Scopes March FML reticle crosshair thickness?

    Wow! Thank you for the pics, Lancetkenyon. They help me visualize what the similar FML would look like in the same size. The reticle doesn't look as thick as I thought it would but the center dot is also not quite as fine as I hoped. I'd use the scope for primarily shooting paper @ 100 yards. I...

    Rifle Scopes March FML reticle crosshair thickness?

    Thanks for the reply. I believe that means this reticle is basically the same size as the FML-1. I was hoping for a touch thinner.

    Rifle Scopes March FML reticle crosshair thickness?

    Anyone have experience looking through the March FML reticle pictured below? I'm mostly curious about opinions on the crosshair thickness of the reticle at 24x.

    Looking for knowledge and experience of those wiser than me.

    It took me awhile, but I finally got my scope. I almost settled on the Delta Stryker HD 4.5-30x56 FFP, but found a March 3-24x42 FFP with illuminated reticle that I think will suit my needs just a bit better. I appreciate all the help and guidance.

    Thanks for the heads-up, Palmetto-Pride. @easyrdr - I don't want to limit myself on price, although it is obviously a huge factor. I plan on moving the scope from rifle to rifle and thus am looking for a jack-of-all trades. As a starting point my wish list is: - relatively small and...

    Looking for knowledge and experience of those wiser than me.

    A search into the world of high end scopes led me here. I've purchased several Leupold scopes in the past but am curious about other higher end manufacturers. This forum looks loaded with info. I'm excited to start looking through the forum's knowledge and experience to guide my next purchase.
