Or know of a vendor with a donor unit?Believe it or not, I have a SFP sitting unmounted currently if you'd like to borrow it for a few weeks, hahahaAnyone wanna loan me one of these so I can try it out?
A little concerned to drop $3k on one just to see if I can deal with the downsides.
If you want to be a real contributing member here then you pay full retail, write a review on why it's not worth what it costs, then sell it in the PX to a now educated member at 40% off. That's how this works bud.Anyone wanna loan me one of these so I can try it out?

My scope actually arrived today and I have to take back every negative thing I said about it prior. They fixed the hell out of this thing. No more fuzzy image at 10-15x and you can see the reticle holds like you should. Not sure what they did to fix the image quality, but it worked! Still don't think it should have ever left the facility the way I received it but hats off to March for making it right in a big way. And they sent me some swag that included a cool velcro patch. Will have to get out to the range and run it a bit to see how it performs but I'm digging this little thing now.

Don't judge the glass by this pic it's difficult to get a cell phone pic off a kitchen table but the alien is at 225 yards. With the previous reticle, I had a really hard time making out edges and everything had a halo effect similar to how the leaves in the foreground look (they're at 50ish yards next to my barn) no matter what I did with the diopter and/or parallax. Truly is a massive improvement.

Glad none of you suckers bought this when I posted it on the Exchange at the pre-fix discount. This is definitely a keeper scope now. Thought about it for a hunting rifle but I might just hold off and put it on my Tac Ops Delta 51 once it's done. I mean I can't be a Tac Ops Ninja and not have Shiruken turrets right???
Damnit! Now I need to save up for one. Thanks, jerk.My scope actually arrived today and I have to take back every negative thing I said about it prior. They fixed the hell out of this thing.

Low mag pics below are on 1.5x but my cell phone camera is zoomed in to almost 4x to get a decent pic. Also keep in mind I'm scoping from my kitchen table through dirty glass windows while it's raining and it's getting dark.
Being on 1.5x you can see my suppressor. Supposed to be nice out tomorrow. If I remember I'll go snap better pics. DFP reticle is going to work really well for hunting on low magnification like I have to do in my woods. 
Thanks man, I regret even more than earlier...Low mag pics below are on 1.5x but my cell phone camera is zoomed in to almost 4x to get a decent pic. Also keep in mind I'm scoping from my kitchen table through dirty glass windows while it's raining and it's getting dark.

Mine just shipped with new reticle (back to me from Japan), would love to see if improvement above 10x like yours, if so that would be a game changer!My scope actually arrived today and I have to take back every negative thing I said about it prior.

Yeah the letter they sent with the scope said they replaced the old reticle with the new DR-TR2B so you should be good.Ordered. Happy now, @Burdy?
Bought from Euro Optic, they had in stock with the updated 2B reticle so hopefully that means it was produced after whatever they fixed.
You say the reticles is improved, but how about IQ at 10x and above? Do you see improvement there like UNRL G mentions above?
Impressive action from a small, innovation driven company with virtually no advertising budget. I’ve read that most of their profit goes into R & D, many other players in the industry could take note.
My understanding is that the “B” at the end of DR-TR2B indicates the updated reticle with thicker dots, so only the ones with this update will carry that designation.
I haven’t had a chance to look through it at any distance yet. March did include a note that stated I should expect some compromises at the high end in order to enable a 10x erector system.
It appears you are correct. The March website now clearly states the DR-TR2 reticle has been discontinued and that it has been replaced by the DR-TR2B and that all new production models of the 1.5-15X42 DR will have the new reticle.

Haha. I was mildly joking. Hope you like it, let us know your review.Ordered. Happy now, @Burdy?
