    March tracking error

    I have been working with March to bring my reticle the FML-WBR to life and help assist them in getting a PRS specific design to market which is now available. I can say we have absolutely beaten the snot out of two of them over the course of months and had absolutely ZERO tracking issues. In...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    I’m well aware of who makes March, I’m the designer of the FML-WBR reticle and have been involved with working with March for some time now. I don’t need go debate the topic any further I’m aware of the influence of designs and who exactly the players are. There are VERY few optics designed by...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    It’s funny just how little the general public knows about what actually happens with scope design and who actually does those designs. I wasn’t speaking specifically to ZCO and TT but I’ll leave the subject alone, I’m sure you are well versed in the manufacture of optics and the designs behind...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    The reason March has a wide angle when others don’t is because what Swaro has patented isn’t the same thing. March does the wide angle in a completely different style, the S&B is allowed to be sold in Europe currently but has had some issues they are currently working through. I doubt you see...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    I’d love to how your feedback and I’m sure March would as well if you could pm me the concerns. March very much takes pride in the designs and execution of their products and all feedback is welcomed. Sometimes there’s reasons things are done and I’ve very much learned almost all optic designs...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    To each there own, I can’t get into the exact materials used but I’d bet you don’t have that problem as this isn’t whiteboard material. You could always tape on a surface just as you do today with every other optic on the market… we’re arguing problems that don’t exist.

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    The idea was just to make it available straight from the factory, because why should you have to tape on a turret wrap when it could be done straight from the manufacturer. It’s just one evolution of what should be the norm in scope design moving forward. There is some discussion internally...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    The G2 addresses the exact issue your referring to here and I’ve seen no issues running 42x when I decided to, as for the high ratio for magnification we haven’t seen any issue with the 5-42 and unless I’m mistaken there has been absolutely no tracking issues with the assembly that’s used in the...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    I can do a cad rending based on the information we have, we took the distance visible from edge to edge at 25x on various scope models. I have the raw data if you’d like it shoot me a pm, the reason that specific thing hasn’t been published is March and the team don’t want to directly publish...

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    You won’t have to worry about if the March can keep up with those options, the March is second to NONE in glass resolution and clarity! I’ve owed them all and the March in my opinion has the best glass of a Theta/ZCO/March

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 5-27 vs March 5-42

    Let me start by saying I am the designer of the FML-WBR reticle so I have bias to what optic I prefer between the two. But I will say it’s with good reason, before I was involved in the Rudge reticle I competited IN PRS with just about every scope on the market and I can honestly say March has...

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    At this time production is estimated to happen around Jan and availability will be March, just sell one of those “other” scopes lol. This isn’t official but just what I know currently, officially I’m sure March will post the production timeline.

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    The scope bell isn’t to much of an issue as most of the sets come with a ring that just screws into the sunchade attachment location, however having an adapter piece that has to be added to the eyepiece is less than ideal. I’d like to see March machine the design into the eye piece assembly like...

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    If only someone on the team would have said this as well… perhaps not include them but make sure the design is integrated and available. Hard to include another companies product with yours directly.

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    Unfortunately there are patent limitations regarding tooless designs which is why the Theta is the scope that has it currently, once those run out I bet you see many companies adapt that into their optics.

    I can also confirm I have no edge distortion in my gen 2 with FML-WBR reticle at any magnification range.

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    I by no means want to promote March by putting others down and in so many ways optics design is a management of compromise but I will say the March 5-42 is absolutely a tier 1 level optic and should without question be in the discussion of just how good the optic is. Alot of optic opinion is...

    March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets at SHOT Show 2025 along with new concepts scopes

    I run most of my stages in the 22-24 range due to the large fov the gen II offers, I shoot the movers usually in the 18-20 power range which is around 15-17 in other scopes in the class. I have on troop lines run the optic in quite a bit more especially if it’s not a time crunch stage and the...
