NEW MARCH SCOPES

Lou Murdica

Well, what a week it has been at the Shot Show. I started out at the booth with the Kelblys. They brought out the new scopes from MARCH. And, boy did they change the
world of scopes. They had so many scope manufacturers hanging out at their booth,
someone might have thought it was just a scope convention in a 10x10 booth. Swarovski engineers spent three days there, trying to figure out how the MARCH could make these scopes.
Next year, they will need a booth twice the size.
I asked the Deon Engineers last year at the Super Shoot if they could build a scope 36x55 EP power ZOOM and I received one several months ago. I have been testing it and I thought I died and went to scope heaven. They brought it to the show. This is the only zoom scope ever made that the cross hair does not move at all. They also brought a 2.5x25 variable power and a 1x10 variable power for tactical, target and hunting, with or without an illuminated reticle. Once word of these scopes hit the tactical area they had more military and law enforcement people from the US and other countries then you could imagine. All the optical engineers were saying that no one has ever made a 10 times the power scope like this. The highest ever made was a 6 times the power,10x60). They said that they have been asking all scope manufactures for years to build this and, all the manufacturers said it could not be done. They also said that the MARCH scopes has the highest quality optics, they have ever seen.
MARCH now has a 10x60 variable with tactical reticle and, a 5x32 variable with tactical
illuminated reticules. They also have a 5x32 variable power and, 10x60 variable power for indoors.
Now a benchrest shooter long or short range can say they have the perfect scope.
You can change from 55 power to 36 power in the middle of your group, if you don’t like the mirage and know that your impact will not change. Pricing information will be available only through Kelbly’s.
As far as the 5 year warranty you guys keep whining about, it is Japanese law that anything they build entirely in Japan can only be warranted for 5 years. You can buy the scopes made in China, if you want that long warranty.
Thank you MARCH scopes, Turk and the Kelbly’s for bringing the future to the present. I will be talking about the gun powder on a separate post.

I was going to pull the trigger on the new Schmidt and Bender 12.5-50 tomorrow. Maybe I will hold off till I find out more about these March scopes. Would you direct me to their website as I would like to find out more about the scope and service. I can't seem to find anything.
thanks
 
Lou,

I would be very interested in the 2.4-25 or the 5-32 as I could use this for target/longrange hunting. WHen/if you get a chance could you let us know how it stacks up against the german stuff in low light. I had previously tried this with another highly regarded scope and it simply wasn't in the same league when it came to low light, contrast,edge to edge clarity etc.
The MARCH sounds very promising indeed.
 
Does the 36-55 EP Zoom still have diopter correction in the eyepiece for those of us with less than perfect eyesight?

Will a proliferation of models further limit the availability of the models preferred by precision shooters?

If the US military get interested will that demand eliminate Deon as a supplier of civilian scopes as happened at US Optics?

When you do the comparisons can you give us details ..ie what brand and models you compared them against, power settings etc, please include objective lense diameter, zeiss vm/v 3-12X56))..
Thanks in advance for taking the time to do the comparison..
 
I have only looked thru 1 and it moved the reticule at 1k when the power was moved up and down. Looked at it during a match in Missouri -- the owner wanted to sell it but I passed. Must say I had high hopes for this glass but for now am sticking to the NF for my 1K guns.
