    Spotting scope question.

    I'm not sure that's correct; larger objectives do nit have a wider field of view. FOV is a function if the eyepiece. I'm not very familiar with Swarovski spotters as I prefer Kowas for their better glass, so I went to the Swaro website. The STS model comes in 65mm and 80mm, as was stated...

    Rifle Scopes What scopes have all these features?

    Since the OP is in Canada, he might want to check with Doug at MarchScopes.ca and look at the March-FX 4.5-28X52 HM with the Shuriken turrets and the the PDKi reticle. Doug has it listed at CDN$5,200. He's in Alberta.

    Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

    If I may. The nomenclature for the March scopes is like this: The X in -X or -FX means that the thickness of the tube is 4mm, very strong. The -F means that it's First Focal Plane (or Dual Focal plane for the 1-10X24, and the 1.5-15X42.) If there is no F it's SFP, or fixed magnification The...

    Recommended Optic for Monitoring Wind and Mirage

    Yes, that's the one. Kowa has several models and the first two digits are the diameter of the objective lens. I use the X to stand in for straight or angled. The Prominar series usually refers to the use of CaF2 glass. The 82SV is not a prominar, but it is much more affordable and is a very...

    Recommended Optic for Monitoring Wind and Mirage

    Kowa spotting scopes come in several versions. I shoot F-TR and I also wind coach sometimes. I have used a Kowa 82SV for many years. I have the LER eyepiece as well as the 25-60X eyepiece or whatever the zoom eyepiece is. I also have the digiscoping adapter and so on. A few years ago, I...

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

    The Writable turret is an offshoot of the Shuriken turret. It started as the Shuriken and after removing the locking mechanism, it was further tuned for the discerning PRS shooters who live and die by the turret feel. (So to speak.) It is indeed the bestest turret I've ever tested. They...

    The writable turrets are another step above the already excellent Shuriken. The locking mechanism has been removed, and the feel has been further improved.

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

    Good story, The 1.5-15X42 is a super optics. DEON did something special in the objective lenses as the front end feels heavier than I expected. My unit is the original model, SFP with the 30mm tube with the MTR-5 reticle, I have it on an AR-10 that I have used in 600 yards NRA competition.

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

    I should point out that there is a reason why it's a Gen 2 and not a new model. The March-FX 5-42X56 HM was first released in 2019. The gen 2 has an enhancement to the optical formula, new turrets (Shuriken, which have been around for 3+ years, though the writable version of the Shuriken is...

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

    My understanding is that the Gen 1 and Gen 2 use the same High Master, Super-ED glass. The Gen 2 has been tweaked to enhance the IQ of the edges when full adjustment is applied. As you noted, the turrets are different between the generations and the PRS edition's writable turrets are different...

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42 Gen 2 PRS Edition

    The March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 is also used by some top ELR shooters. https://marchscopes.com/news/21477/ Just as FYI. David got the 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with Shuriken turrets and a reticle other than the FML-WBR just 2 weeks ago. He mounted it on his match gun, zeroed it and went up to Kansas to...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T6Xi 3-18x56 Review and comparison with NF ATACR 4-16x42, S&B US 3-20x50 and March 4.5-28x52

    The March-FX 4.5-28X52 HM is very strong. The main tube is 34mm with the walls being 4mm thick. The warranty is 10 years from the dare of manufacture, regardless of the owner, so fully transferable. DEON will usually do warranty work even after the warranty has expired. The SCARC 20 is...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner T6Xi 3-18x56 Review and comparison with NF ATACR 4-16x42, S&B US 3-20x50 and March 4.5-28x52

    The March-F3-24X42 is a solid riflescope, but I'm wondering why you're now considering the March riflescope that is being discussed in this thread, to wit, the March-FX 4.5-28X52 HM. It's a newer design and it has a huge FOV, with its 25° AOV, compared to the 20° AOV of the 3-24X42. The...
