New March scope released at IWA show tomorrow .

[Clearlight]

Saw this on FB yesterday , 6 - 60 FFP . Looks like it may be an interesting new option for
our needs . Watching with interest .

Negative . After reading posts here for many years , I feel it's time to
contribute occasionally .

A 2-20, 3-30, or 4-40 would be very well received for a hunting scope. Not sure why they chose a 6-60.

That's what I'm curious about , and the tech involved to make an optic like that .
No need to drag the spotting scope along with this unit I guess .

My bad. Welcome to the forum!

Just saw specs released from IWA show in Germany .
6-60 power FFP , 400 MOA elevation travel , 150 windage .
To those of us shooting ELR this is genius . No huge rail
needed , and has integral mounts so no levelling issues
and no rings to buy .

Hi,

SO, you are not clearlight from the hide huh?

If you are then why come on here and act as if you just seen this in their Facebook page....because you are well beyond a fan of March optics to have just "noticed" it on their Facebook page.

Sincerely,
THEIS

The place I buy my Bergers from here in Aus had it on their
stream a little while ago .It popped up in Rifle Snobs posted by
Doc Beech as well . I tend to pay attention to both .

Thanks for reposting the Jim Boatright article from SH too !
What country are you in Theis ?

A buddy at IWA asked the March guys on their stand about this . The tech can
be adapted to any optic in their range . Maybe down the road they will offer a
lower power for those who prefer that .

What I have found is that high mag is like a 500 horsepower motor . You
don't need to use it all the time , but when you do it's awesome . Using
high mag to ID target , then dialling down a little to shoot has worked very
well for me over the years .

Its not meant to be "just" a hunting scope. Its made for ELR target shooting.
