March Scopes for CSR

Thinking that its time for a change I have been considering trying out a March scope for CSR. Unfortunately a slight delay in delivery means I wont be using one for the main CSR Matches during the Imperial, however, the importer offered me the loan of a scope until mine arrived so I said why not. It arrived yesterday and I fitted it today. The optical quality is IMHO better than the S&B Short-Dot although the objective is slightly bigger which may be why it appears clearer. Will try to get out and shoot with it in the next couple of weeks and will bring along to the Imperial for anyone who wants to have a look through it.

Not too sure about the reticle just yet but it has been designed for shooting at Figure targets, the proof will be in the shooting.

Just fitted the on loan March 1-8x24 into this mount. Its well made and the locking mechanism is simple to use and appears to be very rigid and secure. The height is just right and will test it on Sunday in Cornwall.

Depends on which upper receiver you fit it to and how you measure it I suppose, I've measured it as 2.7245" from C/L of Bore to C/L of Scope which is what I think was the question you were asking.

Its definitely not 1.575". Unmounted on an upper its 1.689" from bottom of the mount to the Scope C/L.

Worked well, however, I will need a little more practice with it before replacing my S&B Short Dot.
