March vs Zeiss

[ThompsonPT]

Need some feedback from people that have used these scopes. I’m considering March FX 4.5-28 x 52 and Zeiss S3 4-25 x 50. Can I get some pros and cons and insight into glass comparison and field of view. I also like the March compact 4-25x 52 in sfp bc I’ll primarily be using for hunting.

I'd like to hear the same. I recently hunted with a long-time Delta Force guy who puts March scopes on his > $10K precision hunting rifles. He showed up dialed in at > 1000 yd. Says they're the best.

The "long range hunting" forum here on Rokslide has a scope evaluation sticky you might enjoy. It is the first one.

March seems like overpriced junk.

Recently bought the 4.5-28x52 March FX on sale from Europtic for under $2500.

It's okay pretty good really massively wide FOV very sharp images quality however I much prefer and rather deal with the weight of my Vortex Razor G3 6-36x56 instead my eyes like the Vortex better and the Element Theos as well.

If considering the Zeiss LRPS3, the Tract Toric version of that same scope is way cheaper and at least includes a sunshade and have an optional thread in image optimizer that actually works cuts the CA and sharpens image quality and with improved depth of field.

A 3-24x52 March is the most disappointing scope purchase I’ve made. $1000 bushnell LRHS I replaced it with is a better functional optic.

I too am still bummed with the 3-24x52 and 3-24x42 March F's I bought and felt that my Razor G3s were hands down far superior short of their porky weight then bought the several of the much lighter weight Element Theos which are almost as clear as the G3s.

That March 1.5-15x review saved me from making a very costly mistake. DarkLordofOptics rates them very highly for their glass, but the field testing and drop testing here tends to kill a lot of sacred cows.
