Got my March F 3-24X52 in and mounted it in my 6.5 PRC. I know there is a lot of commotion about the "eye box" and the touchy parallax. I set the eye relief up while the scope was at 24X, as well as the focus, to take out any extra play. Once I had it set the right distance from my eye, anything from 3-20 power was a piece of cake to get a crisp image. Prone, freehand and kneeling. No issues at all. Above 20, it is more picky. But I feel it's blown way out of proportion, much like the NX8 eye box is. The parallax though… it's legit. It is a small range of motion to cover from 100 yards and further. But it's VERY EASY to get a crisp image and adjust out the parallax. It just isn't a huge range of motion. I also found that if I set it just below infinite, at about 10 power and below you hardly have to touch it between 100 & 500 yards. So basically any fast happening scenario, you really wouldn't have to touch it as long as you're not cranked to max power. Of course, if you want to run max power, you'll have to make adjustments for the image. But it's easy IMO. I used .87 seekins rings, and while the scope fit great, the front scope cap didn't have much clearance. So I sanded it down. So far, I think I'll like it. The center dot bigger than most reticles. Won't be an issue for a 700 yard hunting rifle though IMO.
