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

    I actually posed that question to DEON some time back and the answer I was given was that non-translatable turrets are more complicated (more moving parts) and DEON is more interested in robustness and longevity in their riflescopes. This is why they have 4mm thick walls and they are using...

    Such as? What trade-offs are involved with reducing/eliminating flare?

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

    Wow, so many questions. The optical upgrade from the original 5-42X56 to the Gen II has to do with improving the IQ when the scope is near the limits of adjustments. From the official website "The image quality has also been further refined especially near the maximum elevation amount." The...

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

    I'm sure you will like it, the Gen II is awesome. And the thing is built like an Abrams tank, I'm here to tell you.

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

    The rifle, ammo, and riflescope she used were exceptional. I shot that rifle during the rezero episode, it was a dream to shoot and so precise.

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

    The week following the PR Expo, the team attended the GAP Grind Pro/Am match at K&M Shooting Complex in Finger, TN. A write up was posted this morning at the Marchscopes.com website. https://marchscopes.com/news/20285/

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

    I didn't think you were casting aspersions on March. You clearly stated that you were worried about the quality of the glass (sight unseen, I get it) and I tried to assuage your worries. Also, this is an open forum, so I was writing for general consumption also.

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

    Actually, these are pictures from just 2 days ago at Twisted Barrel, where Mari Morita from DEON in Japan shot with the March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with writable turrets and sporting the FML-WBR reticle. Some will recognize the 800 yard KYL berm. 5 shots, 5 hits. Then below that is the 1-mile shot.

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

    I hear you. I don't think you will be disappointed in the glass quality. There were plenty of folks who looked through the demonstrators at the PR Expo and they were all impressed. I realise this is just hearsay and me saying it, but that's what I saw. Next up is the Pro-Am this coming...

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

    There were five demonstrator Gen 2 scopes at PR-Expo, three with the writable turrets. They will also be at the K&W Pro-Am event this coming weekend.

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

    The Gen 2 comes in three flavors: regular shuriken turrets MIL, regular shuriken turrets MOA, or writable shuriken turrets MIL. If you want one with the writable shuriken turrets, you can have it with the current reticles (FML-TR1, FML-3, FML-MT) and illumination, or with the new FML-WBR...

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24 and NX8 Replacement

    The idea behind a wider field of view is that the image you see in the riflescope is larger and is magnified, says at 4.5X yet you see a lot more in the eyepiece. The 25° measure is the equivalent of what it would be at 1X. Let me explain. Your 3-24X52 has an FOV of 20°. The specs show that...

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

    DEON is sending a representative from Japan to the PRS Expo and the ProAm to introduce this new version of the 5-42X56 Gen II. She will be in the Bullet Central area at PRS Expo. If you are there, stop by and visit with her. https://marchscopes.com/news/20162/

    Rifle Scopes March 3-24 and NX8 Replacement

    The March 3-24X52 has a more critical depth of field than the 42mm version because of the larger objective. The 3-24X42 is a favorite for hunters, but some wanted the capability to hunt longer hours, so the 52mm version was produced. If one of your criteria is a wider field of view, the...

    Long Range Gas Gun Optics

    You might also want to look at the March-FX 5-42X56 Gen 2 with the shuriken turrets. It's closer to the ZCO in terms of size, weight and price. It has a wider elevation range at 40MIL instead of 35MIL and a wider FOV at 26° compared to 23° for the ZCO, if my records are correct.

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

    Next month at the PRS Expo, March will have some pre-production models of the March-FX 5-42X56 HM Gen 2 with turrets on which you can write your come-ups. This is intended for PRS shooters who can record their come-ups for the next stage right on the turret using a dry-erase marker, and not...

    MK5-hd 5-25 vs 7-35×

    Now that you have dragged me into this thread, let's just set the record straight about mirage, F-class, and Super ED lenses. As was mentioned earlier and correctly, F-Class is all about magnification, especially as one ages. There is a thread that was started years ago on another forum in...

    Scoping out a Scope.

    Let me just add a thought here. You stated that you think you want illumination. Let me just say that unless you think you really need illumination because you will be shooting ELR in the dark, you might want to avoid illumination for the simple reason that it makes the lines of the reticle...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    Just some thoughts while we wait for the OP to update us. The rings had nothing to do with the problem. Every company can ship something with an issue that slips through QC. It's how the company handles the issue that is important. March is legendary in how they handle these rare issues...

    Rifle Scopes Long range scope

    Any decent riflescope will do to begin and get some experience. The mantra "buy once, cry once" is for children. You should buy wisely. If you are just starting off in F-Class, you had better brace yourself; it's a money pit. If you intend to do well and be competitive, you are going to...
