TT525 VS TT315

[Lmi3]

Hi guys,

Is there a difference in optical quality and mechanical features between the Tangent Theta 525 and 315 ?

There are two versions of the TT315 the M and P. There is no difference mechanically between the TT525P and TT315P, however the M is lighter with 30mm tube and different turrets.

Both are some of the best scopes on the planet, choose the one that will match your needs best and you will be very happy.

The 315 models, both the P and the M tend to have a slightly more forgiving eyebox than the 525P. Though only slightly. Aside from that, optically the 315 models are nearly identical to look through.

Thanks man for your feedback, i think i will go with the 315P.
Actually the longest distance in my shooting club is 500yd, and i will do some hunting with it max 400yd.
I was only curious to know if optical quality is really noticable between the two.

I'm selling my S&B 525, hope I won't regret it

We have one of the only remaining MTC 315P's in the universe in stock right now.

Highly doubtful!!! The PMII 5-25 is a stellar scope but I think you will be more than pleasantly surprised with the optical/mechanical quality of the TT and once you use the toolless turrets you’ll have a hard time using anything else!

Given your situation you’ve made the right choice going with the 3-15. My only thought is depending on reticle things can get small below 5x, just something to be aware of. Many prefer the Mildot reticle for this but with illumination the Gen 2XR is still workable. Still waiting to see a 3-15 with Gen 3XR... but love the Gen 3XR in my 5-25

Ok i'm lost now, the guys in my shooting club are telling me to wait for the new March 4.5-28 HM
I know that March is making great scopes, but i don't think that this will match TT, and i can have the 315 with a nice discount now and not sure if it will still be the case in 1or2 months from now.
Help me out

You're going to have to start accumulating personal experience somewhere. So if you're most interested in figuring out where scopes fit in the hierarchy... buy all of them. If you're most interested in shooting... get a TT.

The TT represents the pinnacle of optical/mechanical design. I am a huge fan of the March 4.5-28x52 and should have my production model in a couple weeks, however, I do not expect it to be on the same level as TT. Mechanically it will also fall short, what March gives you is a higher magnification in a shorter and lighter package with the best FOV but trade offs will include slight resolution falloff at the edges, narrower DOF and eyebox, a bit more CA.

If you want the best scope period the TT is for you, if you want a very versatile scope the March is definitely worth a look.

Ordered ! I will get my TT315P in two weeks!
Many thanks !
