Did you find the 1 power on the 1-10 to be true 1x? As in you could use it both eyes open just like a red dot with no big ring from the scope body obstructing anything.
With such a large zoom range, true 1 power usually ends up being compromised, thinking of building a new rig now that I sold my current and I like the March 1-10 as an option, but I want true 1x on the low end, even if it means stepping down in max power.
I suppose I could describe it as normal as far as the ring on 1x or I got used to how it looks. In other words I don't know how one would not see a ring using a rifle scope.
Because the eyebox is generous on 1x, and I have the cheek piece on my guns set for my face, I'm lined up and RTG as soon as I pull the gun up.
Yes I can use it both eyes open, and it seems to be almost less than 1x, not more than 1x, so for example if I'm shooting at larger steel offhand I would rather not use 1x thus I end up slightly higher magnification or whatever fits what I'm trying to accomplish. I mainly wanted 1x for self defense but also for 2 or 3 gun matches which I haven't done in 3 years.
It's the same for me on my plate racks which are at 12Y and 4". I prefer 1.5x when going fast on these. The only way I could go faster is to train more, that's either with a RD, or below 2x using my scopes, because I'm going as fast as my current ability level will permit which is 2.5-ish seconds from high ready. This is mostly timing during the "drive by" because it takes a 1/2 second just to get to the first plate.
I haven't been behind most of the rest of the 1-?x LPVO's so I can't really say what those are like on 1x compared to my March.
