Was clicking around and went to LongRangeSupply.com and saw this on the homepage. Seems like a good time if you've wanted a March.

Please contact us for a price quote on your favorite March scope during the unofficial sale titled the "We wish we could go to SHOT Show Special" pricing event with up to 20% off MSRP* on all March scopes - available only until January 24th.
*All models will be discounted beyond the already 10% off MSRP listed on our website but each model will need to be quoted separately so drop us an email, text or call! 
 
Good to know - it seems Eurooptic and Long Range Supply are the places in the US to order March from, but Long Range gives a significant discount on the pricing. I'm thinking of ordering the new dual reticle 1-10x shorty. Been reading reviews on snipers hide and everything is very positive.

That is the one I ordered. Don had a Tactical Turrets Shorty in stock, but I wanted covered turrets. So I am waiting on japan to build it. Got another Wildcat coming & going small on this one. I am getting old & am starting to notice heavy scopes. LOL

Seems like I remember you stating you tried out the 5-42. How has the 5-42 been working out? Have you found it significantly better than the 5-40?

Yes I did get the 5-42, it's extremely impressive in all ways but one. Turns out that my old eyes don't see above 35x well with it, it gets dim-ish and slightly unfocused looking to me at 42x. At 20x it's stellar though, the best I've seen of any scope so far. I went to a NRL22 match and had some younger shooters look through it and they thought it was wonderful on 42x ???!!! So I figure that when the exit pupil gets really small my eyes won't tolerate it and my older friends feel the same as me. We put this March, a Kahles 5-25, and a Cronus BTR 4.5-29, all on 15x to compare in a side by side, and the March was without a doubt superior to the three of us. The FOV is amazing as well and it has 40 mils of elevation travel.

I was told by Mari at Deon that because the scope is so short it has certain optical compromises. Below is what she described.

"""""In order to increase the elevation travel amount, this scope is short. Short length of the scope is not the only factor that determines IQ,

but when comparing scopes within the same brand,

generally the shorter the scopes are, IQ will be less.

In order to complement the short length of 5-42x56, we assembled Super ED lenses.

Therefore if you compare to a longer scope such as 10-60x56

you will find that 10-60x56 has a better IQ even with the same Super ED lenses.""""""



Me, as to the FX 5-40, it has slightly better IQ to me at 40x compared to 40x on the 5-42. I don't like the reticle in the 5-40 and love the reticle in the 5-42 so.....



The 1.5-15 of course won't have such a small exit pupil so I'd be fine. If the new Athlon Helos 2-12 FFP doesn't suit me I think I'll buy this 1.5 -15 anyway and just dial. Holdoffs at 15x would be .75 mil per hash though, and I could always turn it down to 10x for correct mils if need be.

Thanks man. I was thinking the same thing on the reticle. I would much rather have the new reticle. 

March is one of the few higher end brands I haven’t tried, just because they seem to be much rarer and deals don’t come up as much. The 5-40 was one I was always tempted to try, but preferred a better reticle. The 5-42 fixes that, but the price definitely jumps. Not finding any discounted 5-42s, but might find a few more 5-40s now.

You're welcome Smok3y

The 5-40 is actually my wife's scope she bought for FT, with my coercion highly involved in the purchase 😁. I wanted FFP but in that time frame there weren't many high mag FFP scopes that focused down to 10y. I didn't consider S&B FT because I personally witnessed a friends S&B 12.5-50 have huge ranging shifts in temps. Didn't want IOR because I had problems with one of them and well there's that big thread on SH about this brand. So March it was. Functionally it's been a perfect scope. 

Man I'd almost consider that March 1-10 FFP! BUT I don't need 1x and wanting at least 12x on top.

WOW, at this price, I am thinking about ordering the capped version with FD-2. This could be the perfect compact scope for the small game hunter.

Just ordered this scope that I've been waiting for for over a year. Gonna put it on a Delta Wolf when they become readily available. The discount is legit with $480 off. Hard to find deals on March very often. Don at Long Range is legit and has a very good rep. 

Cheers,Scott
