Ok, so my 2 choices right now are the S&B 6-36 or the March 5-42 HM. My question is, has anyone got to use both ? And if so, which way would you lean ?
The reticle isn't that important, I dial for everything except wind occasionally. So the simpler, the betterThe reticle choices are probably going to be the most important thing at that point.
If you are getting the S&B with the new DT II+ turrets compared to the March with the brand new "shuriken" turrets, it's going to be pretty close.
Price might also be a consideration.

It's will be used for hunting out to 1200 or so, and longrange shooting out further. I've always liked scopes that have more magnification then actually needed as I use them as spotting scopes when I have to get a better look then the binoculars will give meWhich one has the most features you are looking for? What is your intended usage?
Not a Vortex fan, the new top tier might be great but I've had a couple of upper tier that I sent back. So now it's a trust issueSome sayThe March eyebox is great for bench shooting. S&B's have a little more forgiveness when the eye is a tiny bit out of position. So most of us on the Hide would pick the S&B. Many of us would pick the solid reliable Vortex over the March.
So what kind of shooter are you?
You still interested in a comparison? Are you interested in the first generation March 5-42x56 or the new Gen2 5-46?Ok, so my 2 choices right now are the S&B 6-36 or the March 5-42 HM. My question is, has anyone got to use both ? And if so, which way would you lean ?
Yes, still interested in a comparison. And not sure on the first gen. I was kinda waiting on your reviews lolYou still interested in a comparison? Are you interested in the first generation March 5-42x56 or the new Gen2 5-46?
I reviewed the first generation 5-42x56 alongside the Schmidt 5-45x56 and was impressed with center resolution; however, even though the March boasts once of the widest FOV eyepieces in the industry it came at the cost of underwhelming edge to edge performance, meaning that IQ falloff toward the outer periphery of the scope was quite a bit and somewhat negated some of the benefits of having wider FOV. Keep in mind that I am very particular with edge to edge sharpness and many are not bothered by this phenomenon. Anyway, the Gen2 version of the 5-42x56 has optically corrected the outer periphery surprisingly well. How well I suppose is the question on a lot of people's minds and for more definitive results we'll have to wait for the production units to start shipping, but I can tell you from the pre-production model I have had on hand for some time now I am quite impressed.Yes, still interested in a comparison.

Any thoughts on the S&B 6-36 yet ?

Finalizing evaluation, but have lots of thoughts I'm trying to get a summary video setup...Any thoughts on the S&B 6-36 yet ? Or are you still evaluating ?
