Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

Yeah, I don't the particulars on any of this, but the time frame you imply, seems to be about the time when it was realized there was a difference in the MIL measurement and DEON have been using a different one that what people expected. This situation was cleared up about 6-7+ years ago, or more.

So, it's likely the optics were tracking true to the March QC but by their standard of a milradian. That is pretty interesting actually. I can imagine it causing a flood of returns or owners thinking their optic didn't track.

If anyone is curious as to form factor, here is the ZCO420 vs the 4.5-28.

Just need a nice light barrel and I’m good to go.

I’m aware of the different mil dimensions used. This scope was supposedly after the change and it was off in the opposite direction. Honestly that was the least of my concerns, click error was consistent across adjustment tested so could have been handled within DOPE and/or ballistic calculator.

Right. It was a prototype and even further back than I remembered. There were only a few out in the wild.

Short story, but I have my first warranty issue with the March, and I think it's probably because someone at Eurooptic took the right side windage out of the box to put on another optic, just my theory. But it was missing when I got the scope. I called Eurooptic and they said they would take care of it. Anyways got this email from March a week later. So thus far seems like they are taking care of me, this is much better than the experience I had with leupold many years ago.



We received an email from the dealer informing us that the windage turret cap was missing from your scope.
We have shipped the cap today via Japan Post using small packet service.
Please kindly accept the delivery when it arrives.
We sincerely apologize for forgetting to include the cap.
Thank you for your patience until it arrives.

I suspect strongly that the riflescope did not leave DEON with a missing turret cap.

Knowing the Japanese, not a chance.
