March scopes "toughness"

[Threejs]

Anyone using March scopes? I am looking for new glass for a build. Leaning towards an atacr because NF are known to be tough as nails. But they are heavy. I came across March optics offering a 2.5-25x42 that's around 20oz. I just wonder if they are as tough as NF. It's a dedicated hunting rifle. No bench shooting other than sight-in and Data work.

Thanks

I think everything has a trade off.Heavy duty and heavy.As I got older I cut all the ounces I could,I still pack to much,my day pack just under 20.I have light leos that spent 25 yrs on a 340 wby,had var 2 that where my dads first on 300 wby,and here how they dont hold up.My Dad broke cross hairs in one and I had one fog thats it so far out of dozen that I had,Ive dented them and broke gun stocks horse hunting,there hard on everything.Only one season on my March,rides a 338 Braked,light Norma.3-24x52 like the features of scope.NF are notorious tough .

Are you wanting a scope or a hammer?
ALL scopes are "tuff" to a certain extent, but ALL OF 'EM can be broken.

The claim to fame for March is the bench rest shooting. I was just curious if anyone has been using them for hunting and if they are holding zero. I would like a scope that I could use as a hammer. But they are 30oz. It defeats the purpose of building a lightweight rifle to add almost 2# of optic

That is why I have one to keep weight down and like features.I usually get 30-50 days in the season in hard country.They are using them some in PRS comps.I had a Mark 4 on before liked the scope but 6.5 low end was a bit much and I hunt grizz areas,the turret is lower on March and like that,there is a March used in classifieds size your looking at,bought mine that way.Looked brand new.

I have 2.5-25x42 mounted on a 7mag no brake holding up very well, I also move it to other guns as well.
I really enjoy using it.

I have two March scopes on light kicking 6 Lapua and 6.5 Lapua. Great scopes. But...I will say...for hunting get illumination. Otherwise reticle is hard to see when it starts getting dark.

As March if they'll video the tossing and hammering of their scope.
