March scopes- the Rolls Royce

19 January 2009, 05:19

I have posted about the March scopes before. They are not for every body as they don't give them away. Who else has a 10 time power boost? You can get a 1x-10x scope from them as well as many others. http://www.websitetoolbox.com/...1279070#post31279070

I never heard of them before I read this last year:

Nice scopes. Looks like they are made in Japan and run about $2K or a bit more. I'll stick with my Kahles and Swaros, though.

I also have several Zeiss scopes and a couple Swaros. If I hit the lottery, I will buy one. They are very low production and I believe one guy is doing all the assembly work, 1.5 of them a day.

I do my best not to buy stuff from anyone who doesn't have the balls to post their prices for something. That includes scopes,rifles, etc. I don't care how much it costs, if you're ashamed of what you want for something, I don't want to buy it. Equally, I don't want to be placed on the "interested" list if I call and ask the price.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

That is worth repeating. You could not have said it any better. It irks the shit out of me when you are out driving around looking for a used truck or like you say anything and it has no freaking price on it. Have to call them or find a salesman etc. to get the stupid price. Well if they would put the price on it I would know already if I would even be interested to begin with. If im actually looking to buy and there is no price then that means they probably just lost a sale.

Charlie and Jarrod, I clicked on the link that Adrook posted and found prices and a lot of photos. I have a friend "Turk Takano" that started the ball rolling on this scope. Say what you may, but the rest of the scope world were all over these scopes at the Shot Show. They are not for everybody and are out of my price range. I have used them and if you want a scope that is bullet proof and has outstanding optics, this is the one.

You're right, I hadn't clicked on that link. Equally that link is not selling them. Kelbly doesn't have a price posted unless I missed it.
As far as best and brightest, I'd like to see a side by side test with a Leica and Zeiss first which, amazingly enough, are cheaper BUT, that said, the 1-10x35 sounds interesting if the glass is good enough. I'd rather it was at least a 42mm objective.

Charlie,
They use a much more expensive glass. They use ED glass that is camera type and quality. The main advantage to the BR shooters are the scope doesn't move internally after adjusted. This was a problem with the Competition series Leupold and others. To prevent this we were having our scopes disassembled and the adjustments frozen. We then went to external adjustments.
