March- Why not?

[SDHNTR]

2 inches longer and 200+gm heavier, plus 50mm objective puts the SHV in a totally different class of size and weight to the x42 March F in my view

No argument. But it works better and is way less expensive so those are tradeoffs I’ll take.

In asking why someone who had one got rid of it, you're assuming the criteria by which they measure a scope is the same as yours.

The first reply should've been - "What's your use case?"
As @streamerfish alluded to

My dad loves his leupolds. He leaves his rifle in his South Texas deer stand nearly the whole season and only picks it up if theres a nice buck under the corn feeder that morning. He's never heard of swfa, never dialed a turret, and can't comprehend why someone would intentionally drop their scope to see if it holds zero.

I'd say leupold is a perfectly fine option for him.

He's got a different use case then I do.
