Welcome to my list of all March rifle scopes and reticles on a single page, with available reticles, street prices, features, and links to official product pages, merchants, and reviews.
All March rifle scopes are built in Japan by DEON Optical using Japanese components and high-end Japanese glass. March is renowned for high magnification scopes with high zoom ratios. Notably, most March scopes have side focus and can adjust down to 10 yards. The March warranty is limited to five years for the original owner only.
I think the new March 5-42×56 FFP rifle scope deserves a special mention because of its amazing specifications for field of view and total elevation. Its field of view at 5X is greater than some similar scopes at 4X (read more here)! And with 137 MOA of elevation travel, it’s going to be very popular with extreme long range shooters.
Gensis 6-60×56 for extreme long range
The March 6-60X56 is one of the most unusual scopes in this entire line up, featuring 400 MOA of total elevation adjustment. 400 MOA! This is a specialty scope suitable for extreme long range (ELR) shooters wishing to shoot multiple miles. Another option would be to use a $1420 Charlie TARAC device that mounts on the objective bell of an existing scope to add an additional 400 MOA of elevation. The Genesis has 400 MOA of elevation and 60X magnification. If you need 400 MOA of elevation, your target is at extreme range, and you’re going to need high magnification to see your target. While 60X benchrest scopes exist, they are SFP and are specifically designed for zooming in super tight on medium range targets. The Genesis solution is unique.
I sent an message to March asking whether the elevation dials limited the use of the internal elevation travel (as I have done with other manufacturers), and their reply was so thoughtful and detailed that I asked permission to include it here:
Thank you for your inquiry. March scopes are not travel limited by the dials and often have a bit more range than advertised, however we cannot make any claims as to how much further any particular scope will go due to variations from one scope to the next.
Extreme long range scopes present a tough challenge for modern scope manufacturers, particularly when tasked with being able to shoot 2 plus miles all the way down to 100 yards. The technical issues here go beyond developing a scope with an erector tube that has a huge range of motion. All traditional rifle scopes suffer from a loss of clarity the further away the turrets are dialed from the optical centerline of the scope. This is a universal truth that applies to every telescopic rifle scope but it is seldom brought up or talked about. As each manufacturer tries to one-up their competition, range of turret adjustment has grown and grown to the point that the optics can be pretty poor at the extremes of their travel. High end scopes like March are caught in a conundrum where they prefer to limit turret adjustment based on the optical clarity they want their scopes to have but feel pressured to keep up with industry trends set by their competitors of selling scopes with more and more range of adjustment. For most shooting disciplines, an appropriate MOA base can be purchased to get a rifle on target at most any distance while keeping the turrets fairly close to the optical centerline. The further the range, the more important this becomes so that optical clarity can be maximized at greater distances.
The new March Genesis scope has broken away from this traditional approach and its inherent limitations. Instead of using an erector tube to shift the internal position of the reticle off-center in the lens assembly, they have designed a scope within a scope such that the shooter is always looking through the centerline of the internal lenses. That inner scope is then physically aimed as a unit using the external turrets in a unique sealed gimble mechanism. So, in addition to eliminating the possibility of zoom shift by using a First Focal Plane design and the convenience of a tree reticle in the first focal plane, they have maximized optical clarity at every turret setting, no matter how extreme.
Let me review the latest data for the Genesis scope. It comes with 150 MOA built into the integral Picatinny mount, has 350 MOA of elevation travel up and 50 MOA of elevation travel down. The tree reticle has 100 MOA of hold-over and hold-under. This means that to get to your 100 yard zero, you have to match the 150 MOA mount going back down. To do this you need to dial the turret down 50 MOA and use the 100 MOA of hold-under on the reticle. This should be no problem considering that 100 yards at a 2-mile competition should seem very close up. On the distance end however, you have the 150 MOA in the base plus 350 MOA more in the turret for 500 MOA up and that is before you even get into the lower half of the tree reticle. Windage also has ample range with 75 MOA on tap in either direction with turret markings that make it easy to keep track of full rotations.
I noted that the vast majority of the scopes on your list are under 30x. At ranges over 1000 yards, the 60x capability of the Genesis should deliver a noticeable advantage, especially considering the clarity of the optics and the optically centered field of view that never wavers. The tree reticle will be available in both Mil and MOA divisions to keep everyone happy. The factory is working hard to get this scope into production but we don’t yet have an expected delivery date. We are very excited about this scope because of its unique design, extreme range of adjustment, high magnification optics and solid design and construction. The Genesis scope is aptly named; it promises to be a real game changer for ELR competitions.
