March Scope 10-60x56 HM - BR or tactical?

[GlennA]

I’m new to rimfire Benchrest competition. What are the advantages/disadvantages between this scope with BR turrets as compared to Tactical in the High Master March scope? What one are the competitive Shooters using?

I am not looking at the scope stats so this statement may be a moot point.....BUT.....I would use the one that will let you make weight. If I were going to use it for strictly BR with known distances I would most likely opt for being able to cover the turrets. I use March scopes ( 36-55 EPZ & fixed 50 ) and that is how mine are set-up....Take a look at a set of off-set rings as well.

I was going variable for mirage if needed. It’s for rimfire heavy class so weight not an issue. What size dot do you use?

I'm not aware that the March-X 10-60X56 HM comes with another turret beside the "tactical" ones show at the website. My 10-60X56 has the ones shown at the site as "tactical", and all the other ones have ever seen have had similar turrets. That said, my turrets are 1/8 MOA and the site does state that 1/4 MOA are available. Perhaps those are the BR turrets of which you speak.

I use my 10-60X56 for F-class at 1000 yards and I usually run it at 50X regardless of conditions. Well, that's not quite true, I did dial down to 40X today to help see more mirage around the target. The glass in the 10-60X56 seems to perform better than most (ok, all) other scopes in mirage.

There are three models of this scope. The first one comes with actual wired reticle; a crosshair, a crosshair with dot and a diplex. The second one is a non-illuminated etched reticle with your choice of 6 etched reticles and the third one is the illuminated version of the etched reticles. I have the illuminated version of the MTR-5 reticle.

It does. What it does not do is connect to WiFi-Shotmarker and tell me the target face on the display is wrong. It's Stacey's fault.
