butchlambertMarch scopes- high end scopes
After taking the benchrest crowd in a storm with their 40X BR scope, Koto Precision is testing a 5x32 scope with 56mm obj for the tactical crowd and a 20x55 for the 600 and 1000 yd. shooters. They all have a 30MM tube and ED lenses. Reports are that resolution is unbelieveable. See 6mm bullet holes at 600 yds.
Kelblys Inc. in Ohio are the sole distributors.

butchlambertRich,
I don't know where the money stops. I have looked through the March at 400 yds and it is much better side to side than my 12x42 NSX Nightforce. If it truly holds POA as it seems, a lot more will be sold. I do know since the intro last year over 300 have been sold.

StonewallButch - I have March 40 x scope # 12* . I was the first one I believe to phone Hobbie after Jim Kelblys post on Br.com. The people involved in development of this optic and Kelblys convinced me to buy this only having seen a photo .
When I discussed my new purchase with a friend who uses and buys high end cameras he did make the comment that he had paid more for camera components.
