And a lifetime warranty is not going to give much comfort 1 day into a 5 day trip. Worry about it if you like. I don't.

soon Ill have both the march 2.5-25 and a vx6 2-12 to compair.
just waiting for it to arrive

the march is hella small for its magnification and is light and short, its shorter than a 3-9x40 vx1
Im very impressed with it, and also agree it is a little hard (not impossible by any means but limited eye box at 25)

I like everything about it, the vx6 im buying new and is still around half the price of the march, which was second hand

I have a March-F Tactical 3-24 FFP MOA.
Haven't had it long but I have had chance to try it under various conditions.
Excellent glass, dials perfectly, light, compact and certainly has a feel of quality to it.
Have a play with both and see which one 'floats your boat'!
;-)

at long last mine arrived, the leupold 2-12 is fractionally longer. but realistically they are the same size
the benefit of the march is its 2.5-25 magnification flexibility, and its awesome dials
my leupold arrived without its CDS dial even tho it was specifically ordered that way :/

I chose the non adjustable focus model for the snap shooting flexability. the march is adjustable
the march has more weight,

the scope on the kimber is a 2-7 vari-x ii just because it is the smallest scope i own, and it is about to be swapped out for the vx6

showing the vx6 mounted, with a vx1 3-9x40 and a 4.5-14 vx3 thrown in just as sizers to show they are smallish scopes

eye relief on the vx6 looks great/feels great im looking forward to seeing how it looks tomorro

What reticle is in the March?

duplex of some sort
nothing special

What about the March 1-10? They look the deal to me. Especially the Hunter model. What would one cost landed here?
I would love to put one on my 243.

You could buy 2 new VX6s with Alumina caps for the price of a new March, PS Leupys are warrantied forever.......

So you keep saying, and saying, given March have been selling scopes for over 5 years now and plenty have been bought second hand are we hearing a plethora of denied warranty claims?

The vx6 is ok , mechanicly its built to a price and like all leupolds given the price/quality I think you are paying for that warranty upfront.
So far things I dont like having used the 3-18 for a bit- the clicks are just ok, the reticle doesn't dial in line with the verticle post and the very long taper on the front bell restricts mounting options unless you use a rail. See pic.

Easy fixed Chris, if you aren't happy with it, send it back to where you got it from, get another one & or sell it then put a March on it, sorted

I knew what I was buying (pissed reticle aside) so Ill stick with it for a while, it probably wont be a long happy relationship though.
Mate sent one back with the same problem and his replacement is bit better but still no better than mine . I was told its only queer guys like us that notice .

I went for the FMA-2 on my FFP March.
Like it A LOT so far.

MARCH scopes cost a shit ton new
