[QUOTE="treillw, post: 1234701, member: 92442"] I ended up going with the March 3-24x52. I had it shipped directly to my gunsmith to save on shipping costs, although I really wanted to play with it before giving it to him - so I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. The rifle is supposed to be here in two weeks and then I'll be able to see how everything came together. I don't remember everything I wrote in this thread previously and I didn't reread it just now, but I chose to go with the March because they had an MOA reticle and it saved me something like a pound and a half on the rifle weight. (The S&B itself is only a few ounces heavier, but because of the illumination knob on the side of the tube and long taper on the front of the scope there isn't much room to put the scope rings. Therefore I would have to go with a full length top rail on my action. I planned on going with a defiance deviant ultralight, but would have to use a deviant tactical with the S&B. Add all that weight difference up and it turned out to be pretty substantial.) If it wouldn't be for those things, I probably would have gone mit das Schmidt und Bender. I probably could have learned to live with the mils, but I can't justify adding all that weight without a terribly good reason. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
