Rifle Scopes New March ELR scope

[Alabusa]

Anyone seen or heard anything about this?

The only teaser I have seen is its video from Mark and Sam on the tube. 400 minutes of elevation is insane!! Seems durability would be suspect especially if it encountered anything but kid gloves. Check it out....

Seems like there was a thread on this a while back from what I remember it turned into a shit show this should be fun get your popcorn ready....LOL

March threads tend to do that. Shame since their good scopes, but a few people can't seem to pull them out of their ass and think they are the greatest thing made on this earth.

Reminds me of the Unertl scopes from yester-century. Sound concept.

Looks like I may have stirred the shit pot again.

Search functions are a beautiful thing.

Search functions are a beautiful thing.

I did a search for March scopes, there are a lot of threads and I didn't see one about this particular scope. Sorry if my blind, stupid ass caused you problems by wasting 2 seconds of your time.

Stick to S&B, TT, Minox, NF, Vortex, Kahles and you are all set. This MARCH is waste of $$$ but that's just my opinion.

March make fantastic optics. The 3-24x52 is an amazing optic with the right reticle.

Based on what personal experience or testing? Or is this just some regurgitated internet “wisdom”?

Funny, the last part is how I perceive everyone who owns a TT. Still waiting on a vetted optics test.

As stated above "that's just my opinion" if you think scope is awesome buy it, its just not my cup of tea.

Hi,

What @lash is asking @LakuNoc is to what are you basing your opinion on?

1. Reading about it online?
2. Seeing images online?
3. Putting your hands on one and eyes looking through one?

FWIW: I have my issues with this scope (from watching videos while knowing engineering ergonomics).
I would rather have a TARAC purely based on I would not want to adjust my cheek piece to keep centered vision through the scope as the eyepiece goes up/down its entire travel range.

Sincerely,
Theis

Im about to hit up that search function since this is all new to me.
Love the bantar. Especially this kind of entertainment. Here is the recap. It applies to most threads.
Inqusitive person that does not know or pretend to know everything about this info rich data poor exciting hobby. They see something of interest thay take to a forum. Their thought being, maybe someone knows about it, and would like to share their experience. A keyboard warrior, with vast forum expertise throws out an unqualified opinion based on said forum expertise. Next is "Search" bantar. Some real information may come to light. Chirp chirp chirp, there is a shiney new topic to start it all again.

As stated above "that's just my opinion" if you think scope is awesome buy it, its just not my cup of tea.

So, basically you’re saying that you know nothing about this scope at all and only have used scopes for regular LR shooting (if that) and this doesn’t look like something that you would use. That’s great, but not what the OP asked about. The OP simply asked if anyone had seen or heard anything about this particular scope. You have not, but you’ve heard or read about all those other “great” scopes, so thought that you would throw that out there.

Now, if you have actually heard about or seen this scope and have relavent information that is specific to this scope, I think that there are many here that would love to hear about it.

So, my $0.02. Very premium ELR Scope. For someone looking for a simplified specific use scope and willing to pay a premium for it.

In the Mark and Sam video in the OP , he’s shooting a Creedmoor to 3k , and getting a lot of shots
dancing around the edge of a sub Moa plate . I’ve tested that exact prototype unit before it got sent to
the folks in the vid above . It had less than 0.6 % tracking error across 350 Moa . Third round impact at 2130,
fifth round impact at 2550 with 300 NM Improved .

Cheek piece height is a non issue on the three stocks/rifles I ran it on : X47 in T4A, 300 NM in XLR,
338 Improved DTA . Reticle is very useful for quick follow up shots with a small hold adjustment .
We had a Taco on location to back to back : we all preferred looking through the March sans Taco .

These things should start shipping shortly. To date there have been 3 prototypes in the wild - one in Australia, the UK and US. I've taken a peek through the one in Australia. It was mounted on a 6BRA F-class gun for viewing purposes only. At 800 metres it still had about 360moa of elevation at its disposal. Glass is the clearest I have looked through and about the only high end optic I haven't looked through is a TT. I believe the lens arrangement is a little more simplified compared to some of the other high-end tactical offerings, mainly due to the construction process being different on this design. March have apparently got 3 new scopes coming this year - two of them I know about. The first one will be a little brother to the Genesis - less magnification, I think 4-40x56 - over 300 moa of adjustment. The second one is a tactical model - I think due to demand from the US market. Mag range again is in the 4-40 range which might be overkill - probably should have gone for a 5-30x56 or something along those lines but I guess we'll see what they have come up with. Wouldn't have a clue if either of these will be at SHOT but it's possible.

^^ The two new designs you mentioned will have the same new lens system as the 6-60 Genesis . I agree
the glass is the best I’ve seen , significantly better than my old favourite Hensoldt . There may be some
new reticles availiable , which is the only thing I wanted Improved on my existing 5-40 FFP .
