March raised reticle @1000

[mr45man]

I was wondering will the marsh 40 x 60 with the raised reticle make it to 1000?

 

[R.Morehouse]

If that's the EPZ you are talking about, I used the March 36-55 EPZ on a 6.5-06imp with a 20min rail and had no problem having enough internal adjustment to compete at 1000.

I think March called it the LR reticle but I don't know what LR stands for. I suspect it is not long range. That said, they allow for a wider FOV below the crosshairs, which allows you to more easily see the flags in the bottom of the scope. I think it's the absolute best reticle ever for short range and I can see why it'd be good for any range if it has enough travel.

Well, how many moa of elevation do YOU need?

 

[mr45man]

The Shehane needs about 22 Moa from 200 yard zero. The scope has 30 Moa from mid point of travel. But don’t know how the raised reticle affects the starting point.

it takes a 100 yard zero from 23in to 29inch high on most rifles to hit dead on at 1000yds

my 22 rimfire disagrees

Fit a 20 MOA rail.

my creekmord shoots dead on 1000 at 2 in high at 100 all day if I do her part

Mike. The LR stands for Lou's Reticle because Murdica was the one who suggested to March that they should make a raised retice.

I don't think I ever heard that but it figures that you would know. Lol! Thanks Jim! I think it makes total sense, fwiw. BR is such a small market I suppose but personally, I think it could be the only reticle for sr br and I'd be happy with that.

Hell I have so many March scopes that I ought to own stock in the company Mike. No I deal with 2 people in Japan, Mari Morita and Tatsuya Gomi when I have questions or issues with any of the scopes that I own. Miss Morita is the one who told me what the LR stood for.

Guys, I have a March 36-55 EPZ with the LR2 reticle. The LR2 has a standard fine cross wire with dot and the higher fine cross wire with dot. I asked Deon for the offset between the center dot and the upper dot in minutes of angle. The reply from Tatsuya Gomi: "It's 9.5 MOA between the center dot and the upper dot on 50x. The offset angle is not constant as zoom changes." and yes if zeroed using the upper dot on the POA, the increased field of view does allow seeing more flags in SBR matches.

Thanks for all the replies.
i finally got to the range, sighted in @ 100. Figured it is about 10 Moa lost due to the raised reticle.So now I have to find some dovetail basses to get the 10 back.
Any suggestions on finding them?

Something like this?



Seriously, I'm not sure I follow the logic in the 10 MOA thing. I would have thought you gained 10MOA of elevation. But it's been a very long day. and I'm happy to be corrected.

Nice looking unit there, did you make it?

 

[Turbulent Turtle]

No, I did not.; I don't make basses and I don't play them.
