Hey everybody,
Many thanks to all for the guidance in my previous post to help pick out a specific scope.
I have narrowed it down to the four below. Does anybody have any experience with these specific scopes and reticles? Specifically, I know some people have complained that certain reticles in FFP scopes get huge at max magnification. I was hoping someone out there might have experience with the March FFP scopes who could weigh in on the effectiveness of their reticles.
I picked the MOA versions just because that is what I'm familiar with. More concerned generally with how the reticle actually looks at min/max magnification, and there is no way I'm aware of to actually look through one where I am located (Southern California).
Will be used with modified version of GAP Hunter - Templar SA, 6.5 GAP 4S, 24" Bartlein Sendero barrel, APA Little Bastard. Primarily for hunting 50-600 yards, but would like the option to reach out to 800+ if my skills and the conditions make that a possibility in the future.
Also, feel free to weigh in on the 42mm vs 52mm objective debate. I'm hoping I can get away with the lower profile 42mm objective, but if anyone has experience and I need the 52mm I'm willing to shell out the additional cash.
March 3-24x42 ILL. FMA-1 Reticle
March 3-24x52 ILL. FMA-1 Reticle (Out of stock at bullets.com)
March 2.5-25x42 ILL. MTR3 Reticle
March 2.5-25x52 ILL. MTR3 Reticle
