    Rifle Scopes Scope Choice for 90% Benchrest / 10% Prone

    March if you can afford it. 5 - 40 FX will do it all but don't be reluctant to look at the SFP 25x range.

    How much magnification

    I haven't had a chance to write about my run in 22lr Tactical with the March 5 - 40x. Firstly, I am pleased to have tried such a high power range on the rimfire during an actual Course of Fire - never die wondering. We shot at 50m (3P), 100m (Rapid) and 200m (Forced Deliberate). At 50m...

    Rifle Scopes Does CA really matter?

    Bender - that is looking like red/green colour blinded which (as we all known) is most common in males. How do you cope with traffic lights?

    Late war German LSR

    Thank you. I've collated a lot of material, including from the Australian War Memorial and am in the process of submitting it. Will let you know (or cry out for more help!).

    Late war German LSR

    Can you cite me any references? This is for a proposed rule book change and we need to submit documentary evidence.

    Late war German LSR

    I have a related question, if I may. Have you seen, or do you own, any WWII German sniper rifles with an issued six power scope? I remember reading in Senich (but cannot find the quote again) and Martin Pegler has mentioned the six power was an issued scope, but I am struggling to find any...

    Rifle Scopes Does CA really matter?

    Wow. I entered this thread to see what I could learn on the issue. I had experienced bad CA on rimfire targets that affected fine accuracy and required a rethink and I had used the blue fuzz in conjunction with mirage to assess the wind speed at long range in the past. Instead I find the...

    Rifle Scopes New March in Exhibitions 2018.

    You are seeing it wrong. More details on the March FB page and stand by for the next round R&D to occur.

    As reported, the R&D phase is starting soon so killing more electrons just makes Dunning Kruger happy. The March FB site would be the best place for updates. But the latest video will keep people happy I reckon.

    March Genesis - 400 MOA in the Turret

    Hey Thesis You are just going to have to wait a while for R&D to work through. I suspect the MIL version will try to be released in parallel but that is not yet clear and the weight is going to be about the same I reckon. Keep on checking the March FB page is the best way forward. However...

    Rifle Scopes New March in Exhibitions 2018.

    OK. I sent some emails to the guys at IWA about the Genesis and what it can and cannot do. The most important point to get across at this stage is the Genesis you see on FB is a prototype that is going to the R&D stage after IWA. Based on this real world R&D, like all prototypes, there will...

    Okay. I only use the illumination while twilight hunting.

    And what exactly is "wrong" with the reticle. I have a habit of putting the dot on where I want the bullet to go and use the spaces for aiming off. Is there a better way?

    March Genesis - 400 MOA in the Turret

    Great response by John Apexx. I suppose Doc Beech's comments on the other March thread are noteworthy, that this is "not an external system that has been internalised ... This is a brand new system for managing the elevation travel of a scope, a patented system using a new mechanism for...

    Sounds like a engineering problem to solve when you get one!

    Rifle Scopes March GENESIS - ELR scope

    Daily Bulletin has some vision from IWA. http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2018/03/march-releases-new-genesis-elr-scope-with-400-moa-elevation/comment-page-1/#comment-54656 And thanks Shiraz for the updates - looks like active KO2M shooters are on to it.

    The ELR thread has a hypothetical solution and a wait and see response. But all three threads have you selling a periscope for a comp you only observe. I'm sure more practical details will emerge from IWA.

    Nice no one has yet shot with the new unit, I am reserving my judgement until I can get my hands on one. This is a new ballgame and speeds are best left unvented until the unit hits the real world. Anything that shakes us out of 1940s tech is fine by me.
