March 5x40x56 Box test

Not trying to be negative or sound jealous of someone that can afford such a piece of equipment but for what a March scope costs it had better track perfectly!! I could only wish to be able to own a scope of that caliber. Also I shoot field target where there are many high end guns and optics and I can assure you that just because a shooter has a small fortune in his equipment it dosn't make him or her a great shooter!! Have a wonderful day!! J.L.

this scope appears way in excess to what even a serious air gunner would need. at $3500 plus this really seems intended for 700-1000 yard shooting IMHO. 

IMHO

Accuracy is accuracy, whether a firearm at 1000 or an airgun at 100. Yes, it is expensive. Quality costs, sometimes a lot. Don't have one myself and probably never will but it sure seems nice and nothing wrong with using one.

Its quite simple, people will generally pay more for their wants than for their needs. If everyone could afford a March scope they would, they are the perfect air rifle scope. Power to ones that can and do own one, whether you are a good shot or not! Do I need one, no. Do i want one, yes. One day, provided I live long enough to save up for.

Cheers, it's all good after all my opinion is free and worth the same!

Im living proof of that



Shooting good gear is fun, good gear _should_ last a lifetime.

Generally the more you pay, the more reliable the function, the better the glass, the higher the fit, finish, and feel of everything on the scope goes up. Then at a certain point the diminishing returns thing comes into play.

Disposable income, some have it. 

That being said I won't be buying anymore high end scopes and will hopefully be able to keep the ones I have. They are very nice but for most of my purposes on an airgun they aren't needed, especially when there are choices that are getting closer to the expensive scopes in their feature set's and function for $$$$ less.. 

They're smaller and lighter than most other scopes in the same class while often the only ones that will focus down to 10 yards.

Was going to buy one but then I heard about a new 5-42x56 model coming out.
