I got to look for the article I saw this morning. It said multiple assailants in body armor.

Based on his picture he could weigh in as “multiple assailants..”. Someone never misses all

Wonder if he is a fence jumper with a Michigan Drivers license that they issue to illegals for the asking. Or an American who is triggered.

BORTAC guys are definitely tier one. One of my cigar-smoking gun shooting buddies is ex BORTAC and USBP ret. Still learning to shoot precision rifle as it was not his thing. But shoots the balls off a gnat with an AR or a pistol.

He is now a Game warden in TN. The “Fish fuzz!”

Wow, this thread has taken some twists and turns. A few comments after reading through some...

Actually, some people do cry about Richard, they just do so behind closed doors...

I know there have been some responses to this already but speaking from personal experience, the Gen 1 had some optical distortion from about 60-70% out from center to the edge of the periphery. My eyes are very sensitive to distorted or blurry periphery in any scope design (one of the worst I had seen was the NF NX8 2.5-20 when it was first released; however, to Nightforce's credit they resolved that in later manufacture and now the "newer" NX8 2.5-20's are very impressive optically). I was thrilled with the March 5-42x56 Gen 2 version as it corrected this optical distortion from Gen 1 quite well, meaning the image sharpness is very clean from edge to edge. I have only had a pre-production version of the Gen 2 5-42 but based on my experience I am not surprised that so many are really liking this scope as I think for PRS style of shooting (where 98% of the time you are between 12x - 20x magnification) this scope is absolutely stunning, in fact, in this mag range I liked it better than all my other alpha scopes I was testing at the time including the TT 7-35 and I was very hard pressed to find any distinct advantage the TT provided (again within this mag range, where the TT excelled was above 25x).

It's interesting, Kahles kind of shook things up with their new K540i with ultra wide FOV; however, March had already been doing this for a number of years and I've been trying to enlighten the community on how advantageous wider FOV can be. Once Swaro's patent ends, presumably around spring/summer next year, I think we will begin to see more manufacturers take advantage of using wider FOV eyepieces in their designs.

Wait so you mean March did wide angle lenses first?

Bet there will be not a peep from the Left calling for gun control if the shooter used an evil black rifle.

Very excited for this one. I’ve taken everything I know about muzzle brakes, and some of the challenges unique to suppressors to help recoilx make something truly remarkable, and I hope you all enjoy it.

Side note, if you don’t have a scythe, you’ll want one, my preference has been the STM version but I know other guys that like the Ti just fine if that’s what you’ve got.

I bought one of the missing nuclear warheads off ebay a few years back. If it gets ugly, I'm taking my zip code with me.

This is a joke federal agents, I don't have a nuclear warhead. Leave me alone.

So, if so were you, I’d limit both the theory end of things and competitor bashing and just simply describe, in detail, your experiences at different magnifications between the two scopes.

By way of example, @koshkin has done consulting work for March (as you know) but he is quite careful to appear impartial and not afraid to point out strengths and weaknesses of scopes, regardless of his relationship with the manufacturer.

Bud I do not post my opinions here because my opinion is in fact bias by the very nature of my affiliation and being the creator of the reticle and the person behind virtually all the design decision changes for the prs edition March outside of the optical formula. My opinion will literally create the exact issue proclaimed here as I’m badmouthing other optics which is EXACTLY why I stated from the very start that these were opinions of other shooters.

I’m not sure what your referring too with theory here but the optics design and ocular statements aren’t theory it actually how the exit pupil and angles in the ocular system work. It’s not theory that more ocular angle increases FOV but translates to shallower and smaller eyebox. March and Kahles for that matter both know this and it’s why design decisions were done how they were. I’ve had the ability to discuss these items with actual optical engineers while being a part of the March effort. I didn’t just send an email and get a sponsorship for a scope… a bit more to this effort than that.

I too am very careful to give merit and credit where it is due and again I’ll say it again. Every scope has pros and cons! Every scope we compare here is the very top 2% of optics regardless of what names on the side of them and they all have nuances.

What issues are you having?

I have the Gen 2 system & use tubes. I've never had a single primer insert upside down, but had ~2-3% shaved primers (typically with slight deformation) for about 2k loaded rounds until the die solution I mentioned above.

View attachment 8723268

You probably will never have issues using tubes. The volume that I'm doing makes that impractical so I went right to the Primer-xpress. That is my issue.

I have an aftermarket collator in-bound that should fix all the issues I'm having. These would be unflipped primers, primers getting stuck at the ramp entrance and backing it all up etc.
