March High Master, which one?

[21PHX]

Frankie, I have 2 of the 48x HM scopes on my short range BR rifles and I like them.
A LOT !!!

10-60HM MTR2. Period.

I have a 10-60 HM that just doesn’t live up to expectations. Just not anywhere as clear as my NF Comps or Kayles.

Have you contacted anyone about this?

You might be surprised. I would suggest you go to the Marchscopes.com website, ask them the question at About Us=>Contact us. The worst that can happen is they say no.

Thanks! I'll do that. Really not in the market at the moment but I would love to change 2 rifles over to that reticle. Frankly, while I appreciate great glass, I'm not disappointed in my old nf br or leupy comp. I do have a March 40x on my primary rifle that has the lr reticle. The glass is nothing to Wright home about but is sufficient. I don't think we need GREAT glass in Sr br but very good certainly is very nice too

I have (just purchased it) a March High Master with the Di-Plex reticle, I had the idea of sending back to Deon to change to the MTR-2, that cost is $270 plus the postage one way and it appears to be about $150 or more. So may be better off selling and buying what I want (have not mounted on a rifle but I am going to), to @AlNyhus I have 4 Nightforce (3 of the C-513 and one C512) and there is nothing wrong with the scopes at all, as a matter of fact I love them, I guess it is all about the adventure and journey of discovery!!

I think that Brud has a March with the LR reticle for sale, might check with him.

This exactly.
Only you can take this journey....
All you have to do is look at all the responses you've received.
6+ March scopes and a NF comp. Now go look through a few and
see what fits your needs the most.

 

[60723]

I have contacted customer service about the high master scope. They sent me some info on proper scope mounting! Such as how far from bells or turrets to place rings and ring screw torque. Nothing to address what I think is a problem on an expensive scope.

Yes. See later text

Both of which are excellent and my eyes would agree...but the HM should be very close, either way

You know Mike that I have 4 NF competitions, just got a HM 10-60 but wrong reticle I think, after the season is over I'll put it on one and see, I've been told the NF is brighter BUT not by much AND the gentleman that I spoke with preferred the HM stating he could see through the mirage better, I don't know.

I think at some point, we're splitting very fine hairs and there is no right or wrong answer, depending on our own eyes, individually. All three are VERY good, IME, though. I was a Kahles fan before a lot ever heard of them...the OLDEST scope maker in the WORLD! Then Swaro bought them out, jacked the prices...a LOT, and marketed them over here. They've always been great but they just are nowhere close to the same VALUE that they were back then. But...they didn't off anything for our game then, either.

 

[JFrank]

Haven’t owned the march or kahles but just looking through them, I’ll stick with my NF comp.

I would suggest you contact them again and explain your issue clearly. Tell them mounting the scope was not the issue.

Let me just say that saying something like "I have a 10-60 HM that just doesn’t live up to expectations. Just not anywhere as clear as my NF Comps or Kayles" is not a detailed report.

Just reading that would lead me to think that you have not set the diopter properly. Please try to be more specific in your report. Is the imsge blurry? Is the reticle not sharp?

 

[60723]

Have set and reset the reticle and it is very sharp on my 10-60X56 HM. Easy to adjust until no parallax present. When shooting at a 300 yard Benchrest target, the center dot is just not as visible(clear) as it is with my NF Comps or Kahles scopes on high power especially when mirage is present. Also seeing 6mm bullet holes in the target isn’t as easy as with my other scopes even with a rubber backer.

That's good information. Make sure you include that in the contact form for DEON.

While we're talking, you may want to review @Fred Bohl 's technique for diopter adjustment. You should fine tune it at the range and especially the magnification you want to use. DEON will suggest you set the diopter at maximum magnification.
