    Rifle Scopes 1/8 minute scopes

    I always remind people that any decent optic looks great when the conditions are good. It's when the conditions deteriorate that great optics continue to perform at high magnification while lesser optics, need to be dialed down. You are telling us about the impressions from two of your friends...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    Yes, the 33/30Shorty was the first DFP riflescope from March, if memory serves. I played with that one a few years back for a little while. It's not something I use as my shooting is almost completely dedicated to F-class competition, mainly LR. I have not had a chance to look through or...

    Rifle Scopes 1/8 minute scopes

    I have several thoughts. F-Class is a high precision game and the level of precision has been steadily rising over the years, riding on a huge wave of equipment refinement. The marksmanship skills have also increased and with the advent of reliable etargets, the level of participation has been...

    I don't use LPVOs. I've already stated that. If you have provided detailed opinions to March, that's excellent.

    March 1-10 shorty updated

    "Mediocre execution"? Are you kidding me? There are very few dual plane reticles because they require very high manufacturing standards. Certainly beyond "mediocre execution." I get it, you have decided you do not like the tree reticle. This is exactly why there are two reticles available...

    March 1-10 shorty updated

    Ok. I think I'm starting to catch your drift. I'm sure you are aware there are 2 DFP reticles available for this riflescope: The DR-TR1F, which is the one with the tree reticle in the FFP, and the DR-1F, which has a simpler crosshair in the FFP...

    March 1-10 shorty updated

    Color me confused about your most recent statement. The dual focal plane (DR-TR1) presents a very simple reticle at 1X . The reticle in the FFP doesn't really become apparent until you reach about 4X and at that magnification, it is not obtrusive at all. It comes into its own at about 6X and...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    I'm guessing there's nothing wrong with your March. As long as you can get a nice clean, in-focus picture of your target at whatever distance between 10 yards and infinity (and beyond...), you're good to go. The side focus knob, (what many people refer to as the parallax), is used to focus the...

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    It sounds like an eyepiece adjustment issue. March has some detailed instructions to help you adjust your riflescope to your eye. Check out the support page with a host of documents. https://marchscopes.com/support/ Check out this one specifically. https://marchscopes.com/news/4946/

    March FX 1-10x24mm Shorty Gen II Focus Question

    It should be noted that there are at least 3 models of a March 1-10X24 LPVO. There is one that is over 10 inches long and weighs 19 oz. This is an earlier model. The next one is the 1-10X24 "Shorty" LPVO. It is 8 inches long and weighs in at about 17oz. This was the one with the 30mm tube...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    Now I understand what you are saying. Thank you for the detailed explanation. I do agree that right now, I don't see a pressing need to DFP reticles in high magnification scopes, but I do think it works extremely well in the March-FX 1.5-15X42 due to its large zoom range. I will point out...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    Ok, please explain that to me again because I am confused. You are saying that for low magnification you prefer dual focal plane (SFP and FFP). At the higher magnification, you prefer FFP. Apart from the fact that super high magnification scopes are in SFP, I don't understand why the DFP...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    I enjoyed the quick review but I was a little confused and had to go look up stuff. If I understand correctly, you are comparing the lowlight capabilities of the Zeiss V8 (I can't see where you specified which V8 model) and the March-FX 1.5-15X42 (24oz and 10.6 inches). If you're comparing the...

    If the manufacturer was listening, what realistic thing would you change about your favorite optic?

    The problem with focusing a lens is that as the distances diminish, the depth of field diminishes and the amount of travel to focus increases. For instance, changing the focus from 500 yards to 1000 yards requires very little movement, whereas going from 100yards down to 10 yards requires much...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    The lightweight titanium rings from Marchscopes Europe have gained acceptance and somewhat of a following with some owners of the new March Majesta 8-80X56 HM WA, matching the grey of the body for quite a distinctive look. I saw several such setups at the just concluded 2023 US Nationals. They...

    Help appreciated. Round shadow in scope?

    What are the weather conditions like when this occurs.? Does it ALWAYS occur? You say it fades away after your shout, does it come back after the next shot? Does it do it for every shot? Do you have a brake on your rifle? If so, what type? What caliber are we talking about?

    Rifle Scopes 1/8 minute scopes

    The March-X 8-80X56 is some 32oz sitting on top of a competition rifle held by flesh and bone. Also, I doubt it would ever be run above 30X or so in that configuration. If I was looking for a riflescope in the March catalog to put on such a rifle, I would look at the 10-60X52 at 26 oz and I...

    Rifle Scopes 1/8 minute scopes

    I talked with the 2023 Any/any Bayou Rifles champion about the scope on his target rifle. He says he runs at 32X and he does encounter mirage which makes it difficult sometimes for him. No mirage today, way too much wind for that. Chairs flying everywhere. He says there's a bit of wobble...

    Rifle Scopes March FFP 1.5-15x42 MPVO Review and Comparison (w/ Nightforce and Athlon)

    Just as a point of information on this >10X IQ issue. I have the SFP version of this scope, it came out a year or more before the FFP/DR version. It is now mounted on an AR-15 that I use for NRA competition to 600 yars. The format of the comp allows scopes up to 15X magnification and that's...

    Rifle Scopes 1/8 minute scopes

    Excellent development. If I can offer some thoughts: 1- The March-X 8-80X56 that you have is almost certainly the original model and not the new March-X 8-80X56 HM WA Majesta. Your demo 8-80X56 has ED glass and a 34mm tube with a 4mm thick wall; immensely strong. The weight is around 32oz and...
