Hi Guys
Well I finally took the plunge and bought a MARCH scope.
It's a Tactical 2.5-25X.
Here in New Zealand it cost NZ$4,200 which is about the same
as a Leupold VX-7 4.5-18X. The thing just oooozes quality,….
silky smooth adjustments coupled with a tough as nails robust
feel like my Nightforce 5.5-22X.
This scope with its 30mm tube is quite a bit shorter than the Nightforce
(see photo) and 10oz lighter.
It features a MTR-1 reticule which is similar to the Nightforce NP-R1
only it's slightly finer, uncluttered and has 2MOA graduations.
The reticule can be quickly illuminated to 4 intensity levels via a
button on the parallax turret,unlike the ugly blisters stuck on the
Swarovski and Leupold eyepieces or the tiny,fidly screw setting on the Nightforce.
I put the March and Nightforce set at 20X side by side under normal lighting
conditions and viewed the fine twigs on some distant trees about 800m.
Not really scientific I know, but the March was definitely optically superior.
I have yet to test them in low light which should be interesting as the objective
on the March is 42mm against the 50mm on the Nightforce.
With it's wide zoom range and compactness this scope should do well on
Red deer up close in the bush and long range shots at deer, chamois and thar
in the mountains.
