March scopes

[skipper]

I have been reading some very interesting reports about March scopes. Most say they will resolve shots on targets that neither a NightForce or Leupold or any other scope will. The report on 6mmbr.com rates them as the best of the best. They are only carried by Kelbly's currently and are based in Japan.

Does anyone have any real world experience with these scopes? I'm interested in getting my hands on one.

For $2,200 bucks and 40 power, it better be able to read the back of a pill bottle at 600 meters.

I need a better job.

My friend has a Nightforce 8-32 x 56 ($1600) and it has lots of mil dots. I've spotted him on a rabbit and a p-dog at 650 yds hits. If you have the money it is a fantastic scope. Clear optics and built well says he-better be for $1600.

I agree that Nightforce scopes are about as good as it gets. I recently bought my second 12-42X56 mm Benchrest model. I have heard that the March Scopes can resolve smaller objects than my NightForce and that has caught my attention. Of course, seeing that they are made in Japan and currently only imported by Kelblys, warranty work might require a trip back to Japan. Before I slap my money down, I'd like to actually hear some first hand reports or, even better, look through one side by side with my NightForce.

Skipper,
Speaking of warranty work, a friend recently put a Ziess Diavari on a rifle and it would not zero! It put everything 5 inches left and therw was no more adjustment possible. Warranty? Yes, but since it was built in Germany he had to send it to Germany . If he had a Conquest, it would have been serviced in the US. He said that's the last time he'll do that.
