I have it straight from March in Japan that they never made a scope ring and don't warranty them.
At one point Grizzly made them for US sales and Audere for UK. Grizzly no longer makes them and per Deon Grizzly only had a two year warranty.
It appears, from looking at the Eurooptic website, that Area419 makes rings branded as March.
So, I guess the question is are these the newer A419 made or new old stock by Grizzly.
EDIT:
I prefer either Vortex or EGW rings. They are both great companies and my experience with their products has been great.

You guys are so funny.
It is not a deep dark secret that DEON Optical, the folks who design, create, manufacture, sell and support the March riflescopes do not make rings. They say it right on their site:
Accessories - rings
The above rings are made by Audere in San Marino for March UK, and are excellent.
The March UK site has a lot of various accessories that you will not find elsewhere, such as titanium rings.
March UK titanium rings.
I've seen a few sets on Majesta scopes at Bayou. They look really nice.
March announced the Area419 rings to great fanfare a few months back:
Area419 March branded match rings.

You are proving the point I wanted to make. If I had an issue with Vortex or Nightforce or EGW rings (even though they likely don't manufacture them) one call would get me squared away. With March I am expected to know which of the "authorized manufacturers" made my rings a d contact them for any questions or issues. Why do I want to do that, especially since I just bought two sets of EGW 34MM Rings for less than I would have paid for one set of March rings. Oh, and that included the cost of shipping and tax on the EGW rings.
Way ahead of you. This is why DEON is introducing riflescopes with build in mounts.

Nice concept for a LPVO that will see use on (more than likely) a AR platform.Way ahead of you. This is why DEON is introducing riflescopes with build in mounts.

If a screw happened to get stripped on the mount then they replace the entire scope at no charge?
Looks like, considering pricing on the current 1-10, this thing will be around $3,000?
A concept scope in a March-FX 5-42X56 with the built-in mounts was displayed at SHOT Show 2025.
I would not hold my breath on a Majesta with built-in mounts. There are MANY things to consider with this concept, especially with long range shooters.
Why replace the entire riflescope? Just replace the screw and the nut.
I recently installed an ATACR on one of my 300WMs using the March branded Area 419 match rings, not the hunting lighter version. Torqued the caps to scope ring spec of 18 inch pounds.
Three weeks ago, getting ready for Elk hunt, I was verifying drops at distances after zeroing. I noticed scope slippage with these rings. Maybe 18 inch pounds is not enough to hold the heavy ATACR or maybe the Wheeler Torque wrench is off. When I get back to this project I will use the old Borka tool that I have for over a decade.
I went on the trip with different 300WM.

I use American Rifle Company rings for my March and ATACR scopes. So far, they are flawless

I've been VERY impressed with my ARC rings. I've been switching over to them the last few years. I've got an M Brace as well because of needing some cant. Also a one piece Hawkins with 20 moa. I prefer the seperate Rings when applicable. I don't like the spacing so close to the Turret housing on the one piece mounts.
I like the ARC rings. I use them in another 300WM holding a legacy NXS
The Area 419 March branded rings are designed specifically for the March 34mm riflescopes such as the 5-42X56 HM and the 8-80X56 HM Majesta. By that, I mean that you do not lap them or do anything to them in any way but simply mount the scope on them. Using these Area 419 March branded rings for other brand riflescopes is not a good idea.
If you read carefully the March news item I posted earlier in post #3 above, you will see that stated.
