Rifle Scopes March 1.5-15 sticking?

[mercracing]

I had my March on the shelf for a few months. Mounted it on a rifle tonight and was adjusting the magnification ring. There’s a bit of friction around 2.5X. Loosened the back ring completely, and the friction is still there. Anyone else have this?

No issue with mine in a Badger Mount. Are you using the throw lever? Maybe the grease just needs to be worked in.

Yes, I have the throw lever mounted. It could be the grease, just odd it started now. No problems when I first was using it.

I just bought one, FFP Shuriken with the new reticle, DR-TR2B. Probably the only scope like it that I can run on a DTA Covert rail and still have plenty of room for NV/Thermal clip ons. It's typical March. Well exectued, light, short, good glass, nice turrets, tight eye box and small sweet spot on parallax adjustments per yardage. Zero stop carries over from previous March scopes and the Shuriken locking turrets are very nice. For my needs it's the perfect hunting scope with the dual plane reticle and illuminated center. I run a few March scopes on my guns and am very used to the eyebox and parallax adjustment. If being great at compact, weight and execution with solid glass are your goals you will love it. It gives up a bit optically in the top magnification range on the outer edges but to be expected on a 42mm 10 factor magnification scope. Adjusting the diopter correctly is key to getting everything out of it. Mounted, sighted and verified to 1000 today with it. It's going to be a keeper for me.

Could you post a pic of your setup on the covert? I've got one and curious about it.

This is with the longest clip on I have, a CNVD-LR. Anything shorter and most all are shorter than the CNVD-LR have ample rail space. Even my other March's dont allow enough room for a clip on that thus one does at 10.6" long.

I've got the same clip on. Thanks for the photos. I've got a 1st Gen SRS. What's the black plastic piece on the pistol grip?
