[QUOTE="Corey James, post: 1762478, member: 111894"] I agree. I own March. It was always on my list. The 10-60x56mm was a huge disappointment in glass quality at 1200y that acquisition hurt. I was told by my DM to get the NF ATACR 7-35mm. I did and went back to the 5-25x56mm Leupold HD. Better at high end, far enough power. You need clarity more than power and the March high power at 1500y was so disappointing and the only reason I did not look again at March. The lower powered March optics are killer. Truth be told the best 2 mile optic I ran on my 338s were the Schmidt-Bender hands down over Kahles 5-25 x. The clarity of March lower power rival top end NightForce any day. To choose an optic for this monster 375 RUM AI one has to realize these qualities of the build: 1. The 375 RUM AI is NO 1 mile let alone 2 mile weapon. Far too anemic despite CEB and Hammer bullets. I built it for being a sledge hammer inside of 600 yards. 2. If I wanted a 1500- 3700 yard .375 caliber weapon I would have chambered this build in a 37XC or 375 CT. 375 RUM and RUM AI simply is limited despite the performance of accuracy and velocity I am seeing in my 29" 1:9.4" twist barrel. 3. This is an M24 Contour 29" barrel so this not a Safari Grade big game short barrel so low power safari optics are not a good fit for wide field of view or eyebox needs. 4. This rifle has a Manners T4-A stock built for more mobile Safari and fixed stand or ELR shooting & hunting only. So looking at this lower power March is indeed an option with larger objective.
