I've had this scope for about 7 months now, I put it on a custom rifle I had built for PRS style competition. In the past every single scope I bought had an "L" on it and I'm sure I'll buy more of those, but the guy who built my rifle, being a world record holder and bench rest hall of famer, said he likes March so I thought I'd listen to him and give 'em a try. WOW! The quality feel and fit & finish are fantastic right out of the box, though the scope feels lighter than I expected. The elevation and windage dials, the side focus, the locks, the zoom ring, every single moving part works flawlessly and the clicks and locks are perfect, not mushy, and instill confidence that they are doing exactly what they are supposed to do.

The two main reasons I bought this scope was for the elevation adjustment, and the magnification. They state that the image quality MAY degrade when you NEAR the maximum of adjustment range. Little did I know that after about 5 mils of adjustment past center, the image quality degrades so much that it’s embarrassing. On top of that, anything over 35x, and your image will darken and degrade to the point that it’s not even worth using. Ultimately, I can’t even use this scope for intended use I purchased it for.
