Probably pretty soon. I am testing the final prototype right now and I like it quite a bit.

Rifle Scopes - Looking for a scope that's right for me.
I've looked into some options already and picked out a Leica Magnus 1.5-10x42 and Kahles K18i/Swarovski Z8i but wanted to get input and advice as well as more recommendations. What is the platform for the scope? AR10 What cartridge are you shooting? 308 What is your intended use for the scope...

I believe all that information (order date, production schedule, MSRP, final specs, etc.) for the new scopes (1.5-15X42, 4.5-28X52 HM WA and the 1-10X24 with dual reticle) will be announced next week. It will be posted at the Marchscopes.com website, I'm sure. When it does show up, someone will update here, I'm sure.
I look forward to ILya's always excellent review of this scope. He has a knack for getting at stuff that elude mere mortals.
As I wrote on the other thread, I have been using my unit in known distance competitions as this is one of the areas where this riflescope is just the ticket; 15X, small size and lightweight. So, of course, I have been using it at 15X almost exclusively and it does a fine job there.
I would think it will be excellent for hunting with its massive 10X zoom range. I can see where you keep it at 1.5X when walking and you have all the magnification you would ever need right at your fingertips for most all hunting situations. Mine has the MTR-5 reticle with MOA turrets, because that fits my needs perfectly. Next week or so, we should get the details on the various reticle offerings for it.
I'm including a picture of it on my AR-10 so people don't have to flip over to the other thread to see it.

I don't do full reviews of anything that is not full production, but I will say I really like what I am seeing so far.

could you please pass on to March to add the MTR-2 reticle with the .25 moa dot. Have the dot and first lines on the left, right and bottom hash marks illuminated.
hydrophobic coatings also.
Nothing new on their news site. I read (I believe on this forum) to expect something this week or next. I'm looking at the 1-10 and 4.5-28 but I assume they'll all be announced with detail at the same time.

2020 and these cats still fucking around making MOA turrets/reticles...
Shit would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

I'm not sure what the problem here is. Plenty of people use MOA turrets and reticles. Highpower competition is all geared on MOA. It's just another angular measurement, so what is the big deal?
This scope comes in 2 flavors: MOA turrets and reticle, which perfectly fits the NRA Mid-range Tactical competition discipline with the 15X maximum allowed magnification (and lots of hunters), and MIL-MIL turrets and reticles.
Are you inferring MOA is somehow outdated or otherwise inferior? If so, you would be best served by a bit more research or bit less commentary.
As I explained earlier, mine has the MTR-5 reticle, which is the same one I have in my March-X 10-60X56. It's excellent for Highpower-type competition.
What would you be looking for in a reticle for this riflescope?
These are the SFP reticles now in use. I do not know that they could all be made to work in this scopes.

I am curious why March would offer exposed turrets with MOA reticle but only capped turrets with Mil reticle, be nice to see exposed for both.
This scope introduces a new design of the objective lens elements. These two models are just the first ones using this design. I should think (but have no information) that March will roll out more models with different features such as reticles and knobs.
You can "blame" me for that, I "pushed" to have that reticle in this scope at introduction. This is the reticle I have in my March-X 10-60X56 HM and my March-X 5-50X56. And now in my 1.5-15X42.

Best way to make that happen is to let March know about it. Go to marchscopes.com, click on About us, and fill out the form at the bottom of the page telling them about the reticle in mils.
I'm gonna get me one when they offer mil. Great form factor!
Would rather have capped for hunting, or better yet LT, than exposed non LT.
ANY RETICLE besides THE FML WITH HUGE NUMBERS please!!!!
These new March scopes are positioned for the big leagues. If they just tweek the reticles a bit and deliver on the promise of daylight bright illumination . My 18" lightweight 5.56 SPR is begging for one capped in MilRad

It's a wheel attachment - https://marchscopes.com/accessories/
Essentially it helps for fine focus adjustments, personally I'm not a fan of big attachments on my scopes, but it works for some.
Ha, I don't like those huge numbers. Much rather have their more basic FML reticle.
Quite a few times those numbers obscure when I'm holding off and over for wind in my 5-40.
For hunting with the rifles I would use this scope for I can count lines easy enough. For my walk around varmint rifle 421Y is 1.4 mils so.... and this scope would be perfect except a tad heavier than I would like.
5 mils to 970Y for the other and likely would dial if i have enough time.
Denys does a lot of F-Class shooting and can explain the benefits of having precise focus for certain sports, rimfire also benefits from fine tuning but I do not shoot either of these sports so this is not my forte but I do understand there is a purpose and use.
