    March 2.5-25 scope reviews please

    I put a 2.5x25x52 compact on my 300 rum 3 years ago. So far it's taken a bear at 30 yards, bobcat at 200, whitetail at 475, and mule deer at 629. The glass to me is great, I like the low power of 2.5, I like the low pro turrets, it's light, and I've beaten this thing and it hasn't given me a...

    Quality scope for long range mountain rifle

    I've always been a leupold guy, but bought a march 2.5x25x52 a couple years ago for my lightweight carbon 300 rum. So far that scope has been flawless, I pack it around in the brush, strap it on my pack use it for a walking stick on steep slopes ECT. Always holds zero. Tracking seems good...
