Still a hard no, ZCO has earned my trust, the have a spectacular product that check every box for me with exceptional service.
We get it you’re a complete FANBOY! With all due respect though your opinion doesn’t become fact for the entire optics market.
I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself and clear some things up I’ve read in this thread. My name is Brandon Rudge and I am the designer of the FML-WBR reticle and a large portion of the design and influence into the FX 5-42 gen 2 prs model were a result of my direct efforts with March and honestly that’s the scope that we really should all be comparing to the other tier 1 level optics.
The first thing I’ll address is the claim that 9 months is the turnaround time from March that’s simply flat out misleading and incorrect in EVERY regard. The scopes do go back to Japan for repair but the average turn around time is 6-8 weeks which is right on par with every other manufacturer that requires items to be sent back internationally. That being said March is currently working to have some options available to get a loaner scope in the hands of individuals to ease downtime. It’s something that will be worked through and continue to improve.
The next item I’d like to address is the misleading reference to a limited warranty, March falls in line with many other manufactures on 10 year warranty’s for optics. At some point a company must move on from historical models and limit parts production on optics to allow future models to be made. This is no different than any other company and March absolutely will stand behind their optics and do everything possible to directly take care of any customer. You would be VERY hard pressed to find a more passionate team of individuals than those at March who have dedicated their entire lives to optic design.
Finally as a representative for March I will not come in and speak poorly of other brands but I can tell you that the March glass is absolutely second to none, the FOV is incredible and considerably better than much of the market, the reticle offerings for PRS and Fclass are absolutely outstanding, the writable turrets are fantastic for PRS use, the tube thickness and rigidity of the scope is in a class of its own, and the turrets on the FX 5-42 Gen 2 have been reworked and are ABSOLUTELY incredible.
Don’t take my word for it, or snipers hide for that matter go look through one yourself! Find one of the Demo guys who have them or find one on a rifle as they get into the wild and actually go do your own research I bet you’ll be very surprised by what March has done!
