Did you go the NXS or ATACR?

Everything, much better scope, but bigger, heavier & more spendy..... naturally....

Not a fan of big scopes in little light rings, way to much inertia under recoil & especially if dropped

Really easy to pluck the rail off a Stiller action as well, a lot to be said for integral rails ....

Atacr is pretty heavy for a hunting rifle mate, youll get annoyed with the size of it id say

The atacr is smaller than the nxs just a bit heavier...

Nightforce are awsome though give you total confidence of performance. nxs are still an awsome scope. depends if you need the step up in glass etc.

you talking the enhanced one? 5-25? yea still over a kilo though but up to you. Bigger tube, bigger/higher rings, have to hold ya head heaps higher so need cheek pad or whatever. Be a bloody nice scope all the same. Depends where and what you are using the rifle for bro

Yeah enhanced one mate those are the only three things I don't like about it... Rifle will be long range so not general but carried heaps

Yeap sweet as sounds bloody nice. Ive tried a heap of scopes as you know and I love this x5, the turret is a bit gay but dosent seem to get in the way at all. I can still dial and shoot out to a km+ if need be and easy do-able even only being 18power. And a good weight to carry around in the hills ya know. I got sick of the weight/bulkiness after a while on the big scopes especially pushing through shit bush etc

what is it about the march scopes that nobody likes the ones I've used and seen seem pretty good

If you move in some circles its fashionable to dislike March, I think you might get a badge. Hate Vortex as well and youll get a gold star to go with the badge.
Members of said circles can be identified by discussing the favored scopes in terms of model and type while the disliked will be labeled by brand alone.
In my circle of one I dont have much time for leupold, ( though a VX 5 hd might get a run) or any heavy weight.
Im still waiting for my badge.
