March hunting scope 2.5x25x42 are they good?

[elmerdeer]

Hi guys thinking of getting a top of the line scope, and this one looks like it would fit in with what I have(7mm Dakota Custom rifle). Does anyone have any experience with March scopes? i know they are used for benchrest but their new model is for hunting. Also how does their glass compare to a Zeiss , Swarovski, or Smidt&bender? I m looking for a scope with tactical turrets,with a lots of moa, but I would like it if its not a tank, as its not going on a very heavy gun.
Thanks
Elmer

Typical March optics. Reticle is a little fine for hunting in heavy cover.
Side focus is a bit course, but at typical hunting magnifications, 3-9x, it should be no problem. Very nice tidy scopes.

The price automatically put's it into the "can't touch it " catagory, so I felt, for my needs, the best bang for the buck was a Leupold Mark IV in 4.5-14x40. 30mm tube, side focus, target knobs, regular duplex(not fine) and 95 MOA on tap. All for under $700 delivered. I put one on a custom 7STW in Talley lightweights. I like them well enough that I have four now.
