NSX vs March scopes VS Zeiss HD5

[Ironworker]

How do March glass compare with NSX and Zeiss HD5 ? How about Swarvoski ?

Compared to the NSX, I find March to be clearer with less chromatic aberration. I've heard that the new Competition series is very comparable in glass quality, though I don't care for the form factor or reticle choices. I only have a Zeiss Victory FL to compare (not HD5), but I find Zeiss to be very good glass - however, I couldn't deal with their turret rotation being the opposite of what I'm used to. I don't have any experience with Swarovski's top end scopes.

FWIW, I did compare my March to a S&B PMIII at 600 yards. I would take either as it's a toss up to my eyes. The S&B is a very nice scope.

I've had three NXS scopes, three March scopes and one NF Competition scope and I agree with jaychris about the glass comparison. So far, I prefer the weight and reticle choice available with the March but the NF Comp is the next best for glass if the additional weight and reticles are not an issue. The NXS is a fine scope and all three of mine were absolutely dependable as were the three March scopes. I haven't had enough experience with the NF Comp scope to say but I will be using it a lot this year. The only reason I sold any of these scopes was to get 1/8 minute clicks and 40+ magnification which I had to have at the time.
