I used a fixed 50 for SRBR and it worked out real well. There have been a few around here for sale lately at good prices.......Can't go wrong with a March.

Out of the 15 March scopes that I own, I have five 48 HighMasters . I'd buy another 5 more if I needed them. The super ED glass is better than the regular ED glass, but still not as bright as the NF 15-55. Holds POI very well and to me is better in mirage conditions than any of the NF scopes that I own.

I agree with Jim. I have 3 High Master 48x52 March’s and the glass in my 15x55 Nightforce does seem a little better.

Both are rock solid as far as holding point of impact.

if making a weight class is important, the 48 HM can help

Correct. Good scope for a LV 10.5 pound rifle.

Super Ed glass on the March highmaster is about as good as it gets

No the glass on a NF 15-55 is as good as it gets. Even the Super ED March glass doesn't compare to it.

I only use mine for 100 and 200 yards. I have the 3/32" dot and 1/16" dot.. The 3/32" is a little better for me on heavy mirage at 200. There is a small disk included that you can place infront of lens. It really help on bright days. Mirage is your friend, just like the wind.

I guess me and Jackie Schmidt must be both wrong. Read his post above.

I'll agree that wind can be your friend but I don't agree mirage is.

I’m not saying you’re wrong I’m saying you have a different opinion than me.

No u see what you see. I've just never heard of one person yet other than u that has looked thru both scopes and picked the March over the NF 15-55. I like the March much better but IMO it doesn't cut it for brightness vs the Comp.

 

[Larry Koch]

Interesting, one weights 28 oz and is a variable scope, the other is a fixed at 22 oz.
So to be fair we comparing two scopes, for a different purpose.
now March makes some nice variable scopes that I hear perform very well.

Sorry guys had to step out. Like the feedback now little confused on the choice. I LOVE THE IDEA OF A VERIABLE on my bench Gun but weight may be an issue I see the 15 x 55 on the line don’t know what reticle or power they shoot on. I’ve never seen a March or held one. Do they carry lifetime warranty.

 

[Buck25]

My best shooting always is cloudy straight down drissling rain. Sun and wind must come with a lot of practice. Sun in and out moves my impact more than wind that I can read on the flags. Hope a new scope helps
