No I haven't. Over on Snipers Hide in the Optics forum there are lots of people that have these and that also own other brands of LPVO's that give their thoughts on it. If you haven't already go research there.
Basically the glass isn't fantastic, however it is still good, and the rest of the scope is top notch.

Steve,
If I am understanding you, in my own little context, I like to do the same thing with magnifications and the rest of what you said. Playing around with facets of a scope becomes a ‘sport’ for me in its own right. And thanks for the candid and differentiating comments on the Shorty. I recently looked through my first March scope (not mine), a regular 1-10, and the glass did not appear to be spectacular. I did nothing with the diopter, which could have played a small role. S7

The best bang for your buck scopes are Discovery scopes, legit.
Had them for 4 years and no problem what so ever, even on my hatsan springers that kick like a mule, still holding zero.

bt, I am presently rereading this thread. I have heard some very good things about the Razor LHTs, with a couple of people complaining about this and that (e.g., losing zero or a reticle shift, if I remember). They can be had at a good price, too, well within your specified range. And they are so light, if that matters.
And, despite the contrary reviews by some, I have heard good things about the Nexus, including from Ilya, which often sells for around $1000 in like-new condition on this forum. I would really like to see one so I can make my own determinations.
If the Razor LHT 3-15 (SFP) did not have a 20-yard parallax, I would likely have bought it for around $900 several weeks ago. The LHT 4.5-22 is FFP and parallaxes at 25 yards, I think.
I have never, in my brief time of exposure to scopes, heard a single bad thing about the Cronus. If not for the weight and parallax (I presently prefer 30 ounces or less and 10 yards), I would likely have bought this scope.
Now, you may know all this, and more.

For target shooting…this comes tomorrow:
SIII Competition 45x45 ED
Built for competition target shooting applications up to and exceeding 1000 yards. Sightron's SIII 45x45 Competition Long Range rifle scope delivers superior optics and accuracy when it counts.sightron.com
I bought this and have no regrets. Use it for 50 and 100y bench rest.

ct, What March's do you have, and do you have a favorite, if you don't mind me asking. Thanks. S7

Very fortunate to have inherited a SCHMIDT*BENDER 5-25x56 PM II scope.
It now resides atop my new .30 cal EPOCH ... nice package no doubt.

The March FML-TR1 reticle is one of my favorite reticles out of the bunch. I like the size of the floating center dot and hash marks around it especially in the low magnification range. I feel that other optics with less than .04 MIL center dots are a little too small for my eyes.
I also like the MPCT-1 reticle on my ZCO 420. I just wish it had the center dot with hash marks around it from the March FML-TR1 reticle. That would be my perfect reticle.

The S&B PMII retical ... A tad busy, but for a bench gun the precision in shot placement is outstanding given good D.O.P.E. to utilize it. M-Rad

Got it. I like the TR1 too. And I was watching videos of the ZCO 420 reticle also. I liked it overall. Thanks for the response. S7

This is good post/answer
Referring to the last paragraph, once you get to any point beyond 'functional and reliable' it's not about the optic making you a better shooter but rather the experience of using it.
If you are a dialer, more positive, tactile clicks might help prevent the occasional frustration of having to go back to zero and recount for a long shot.
Regarding the optics, you spend virtually every moment you are actually physically shooting your gun peering through the scope on top of it.
Everyone, within their means and ability to justify such things, is looking for the best possible view they can get, mostly for the pure simple enjoyment of it.
