Thread: March v NF v Tangent Theta

May I suggest a test when one compares--side by side and same test panel--scopes? Not sure it will reproduce here well, but if it does print it out and use it as a test panel. Fairness--objectivity--can only be assured if there's but one "tester" focusing on the same panel, same distance, same time, etc. Write what you see just as you see it at any range indoor or outdoor; as long as the scopes you're comparing are all together at once you may or may not notice differences. Most importantly: another s eyes may see brand x clearer than brand e and you could see the opposite. For me this is a necessary exercise when buying a scope. Here goes:

A
X
I
P
B
G
9 5 4 2 6 3 7 1 9 3 8 4
R

[[SIZE=2]CENTER]

M
Z
L
Y

Didn't work I see. So make a cross-hairs: letters (not in order so it's predictable) up and do the same horizontaly using numbers, again not chronological. Then beginning at the outside in each plane resize largest and diminishing in size as the center is approached. There's your test panel.

I looked through a pair of march scopes at the sika show, and I was not impressed by the image distortion on the outside edge of the glass. With the test you suggest above, I would be interested to see what the march comes out like?
The reticle was a duplex on them, which I guess is kind of ok if the center picture is true, but if using the bottom dots of a mil reticle for exemple, that might not be the best.
What do you march owner think of that?
