25.01.2022 Thankyou to March and BRT for donating a Silver 8-80 for the Prizes table, matched to a set of #trentech rings, this was the perfect way to celebrate 30 years of this event. The winner was blown away! #marchscopes #bench_rest_tactical #accuracyiseverything #Precisionoptics #flynationals #30yearsoffly

22.01.2022 Woke today to some very Sad News, Gene Bukys has passed away. Gene was a real character in the benchrest world. He was one of the best shooters I have had the pleasure of meeting. He won many competitions at the highest levels in the sport, including the Supershoot, Nationals, and World titles.... He was a USA Benchrest Hall of Fame member, He represented the USA at many world titles and was an individual 2 gun World Champion several times. I had the pleasure of meeting him at 3 World Benchrest Championships and shot alongside him at the WBC in 2015, we had plenty of laughs. He was a straight shooter in life as well and always called a spade a spade, but in saying that he was also kind and always willing to take time to help anyone in need. Condolences to his friends and family, in particular to his wife Saundra at this sad time. We are Diminished...

20.01.2022 New 22lr ELR record 500yds To qualify for the record, you must have a first round hit and then 2 more consecutive hits. Witnessed at a public event run under ELR rules. Thats 3 for 3 with a 22 at 500...for anyone that hasn't tried this, let me tell you that is impressive!

19.01.2022 Effect of Temperature Anti-drift lens in March Scope 10-6056 High Master----------- We have received inquiries regarding the effect of Temperature Anti-drift l...ens. Our top lens designer, Nishikubo-san calculated with March Scope 10-60x56High Master. Temperature Anti-drift Lens is incorporated in the High Master lens system of 10-6056, 5-4256, 4-4052, 6-6056 so that it will create a more stable lens system that naturally adapts to changes in temperature to maintain focus and clarity over a wide range of conditions. This was originally developed to meet the requirement of Field Target shooters who are sensitive to subtle temperature change. (*Fixed 40-60x52High Master and 48x52High Master do not incorporate Temperature Anti-drift Lens in their High Master lens system as they have less lenses and therefore less susceptible than other High Master models.) Comparison with March Scope 10-6056 High Master (1) Before : High Master lens system without Temperature Anti-drift Lens Temperature change : 35 degrees Celsius difference 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) minus 10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) Change in focal point (infinity) 350m (about 383yard) When there is a 35 degrees Celsius difference, focal point first set at (infinity) will be shifted to 350m (about 383 yard). (2) After : High Master lens system with Temperature Anti-drift Lens Temperature change : 35 degrees Celsius difference 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) minus 10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) Change in focal point (infinity) 1.3km (about 1422 yard) It may be easy to see the change between infinity and 350m, but it is very difficult for a human eye to detect the difference between infinity and 1.3km and some people may not feel any focal difference at all. The newly developed High Master lens system with Temperature Anti-drift Lens incorporated within 10-6056, 5-4256, 4-4052, 6-6056 High Master models is way less sensitive to temperature difference than ever !! This new system will naturally adapt to changes in temperature to maintain focus and clarity over a wide range of conditions. (*Above is an example based on calculation. When inputting different values, there will be a different result.)

17.01.2022 The more you learn about March scopes the more you appreciate they are the ultimate optic on the market.

17.01.2022 Happy Saturday If your looking for a new scope these could be just the ticket. And as a March scopes dealer, we'd love to help get one in your hands.

16.01.2022 These discs have rubber at the bottom adding grip to the bench surface and making sure your rest is secured in place. Check out our website (hoplon.com.au) for more Rest accessories.

16.01.2022 We are proud March Scope owners here at Hoplon Precision. I personally have been using March Scopes on all of my competition rifles for years. If you're looking for the next scope to perfectly compliment that ultimate accurate rifle build, whether you shoot Benchrest, F-Class, Fly, PRS or just love the ultimate in accuracy for ringing steel or your hunting rifle, March Scopes have the right scope for you. We got it for you too, feel free to visit hoplon.com.au or give us a call.

16.01.2022 For those addicted to the latest Shiney toys... this has just been released by Garmin complete with onboard Applied Ballistics LLC engine. This is undoubtedly the mother of all Smart Watches! Just in time for... err ... Friday! ... It would be a Happy Friday indeed! Or maybe put your order in for Fathers day? Um... better start working on that one now... good luck!

15.01.2022 New Year New Hope New Opportunities What are you looking forward to in 2021?... Cheers to better times ahead...

15.01.2022 1.3" is impressive, but the first 4 were tight! Most people would be happy with that 4 shot group at 100yards.

13.01.2022 March Scopes is launching a spotter accessory kit this coming May. We asked March Scope owner- Denys Beauchemin to test the prototype and review for our websit...e. (We use 100% genuine japanese high quality parts for all our scopes and parts, especially designed and manufactured for March Scopes brand. *Added explanation from the manufacturer at the bottom.) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// At SHOT SHOW 2020, MarchScopes.com showcased a concept for an accessory kit that transforms a March riflescope to a spotting scope. I thought that was a neat little kit that I could put to good use. When I travel to matches, I have spares for just about everything, including a riflescope. Now, instead of leaving the backup scope in the box, I can actually put it to good use on the line with this accessory kit. This is the box in which the kit arrived. This is an early version, subject to change but in it you see the adapter rail at the top, the adjustable eyepiece shade on the right, and a set of focus middle wheels in the middle and a small Allen wrench for installing one of these wheels. The adapter rail is a precise Picatinny rail with 5 taps underneath designed to receive a standard tripod screw X20. The adjustable eyepiece shade screws into the eyepiece of the March scope. The one pictures here fits nicely into my March-X 5-50X56 and will fit most every other March scope. However, with the introduction of the new Wide Angle eyepieces, I heard that there will be an adapter to fit these larger eyepieces. My backup scope is the March-X 5-50X56 that I just mentioned and it sits in a box with its level, large focus wheel, and March rings, attached to the Kebly rail that I use for that scope. You will also notice the translucent March Zoom lever. The scope that is now on my match rifle is a March-X 10-60X56HM, and it has its own rings, rail, level, Zoom lever, and large focus wheel. If I need to swap the scopes for some reason, I just remove the whole assembly including the rail from the rifle and slide in the backup scope on its rail. Its settings are for 1000 yards. To transform my backup scope as a spotter, all I need to do is loosen the rings from the base, swap the base with the adapter rail and screw on the eyepiece shade. That’s all. Since I already have the large focus wheel installed, I do not need to install the middle focus wheels from the kit. However, if you do not have either installed, you should select the proper middle wheel to fit your focus wheel and use the supplied Allen wrench to tighten the three screws in the wheel to stay on the focus wheel. These wheels provide for better, more granular focus adjustments. You do not need to install the middle wheel to use the scope, but this old writer, with arthritis in his left hand finds it much more precise with the larger wheel. You can remove the middle wheel when you put your scope back on your rifle, but after using these wheels, why would you remove them? I like the March Zoom lever and I have one on each of my March scopes; they are not indispensable and the regular zoom function is just fine. I find it just a touch smoother with the zoom lever. I highly recommend you get one of these excellent March Zoom levers; they are made specifically for the March scopes and they will not mar the finish. There is a black and translucent (pictured) model. Next, screw in the tripod mounting screw into one of the holes underneath the rail to balance the scope and there you are; your backup March scope is now a spotting scope with full use of the reticle and the zoom range. Since it’s my backup scope, I make sure I do not play with the adjustment knobs when using it as a spotter. Denys Beauchemin Texas, USA. (Additional explanation from March Scopes)------------------------------- When your eye is away from the eyepiece of a scope, your eye position is unstable. When you shoot, you place the butt stock on your shoulder and rest your cheek on the cheek piece. This makes your eye position stable. Now the Eyepiece extension ring in this kit does not have any power, but it extends the eyepiece so you can look into it with your eye attached to the eyepiece. As it is covered with rubber, you can look into it like a binocular or a spotting scope. The difference with a spotting scope is that you can use a same rifle scope as the shooter. Same model, same reticle. This is the beauty of this kit.

13.01.2022 Take a peek inside March Scope's factory. We are a small company based in the town of Suwa in the Nagano Prefecture of Japan, a little town that is blessed with... wonderful nature, clean air and pure water. This mountainous region is also known as the Switzerland of The Orient for its widespread precision and optical manufacturing. We are not a mass production company. Our highly trained Japanese craftsmen hand assemble each scope upon receiving an order using more than 150 parts made in Japan. Our factory is small but here are some pictures you may find interesting. Each working desk equips an individual air spray (like the one used at a dentist) and an exhaust air duct. Long tubes in the picture is called a collimator. It is used to adjust the position of the focal point and to incorporate components such as lenses precisely without tilting and also for adjusting the state where we can see the clearest. Thank you for dropping in at our factory online

08.01.2022 ----Testimonial from March Scope Owner Larry Costa(USA) who won the 2020 Cactus Classic Light Varmint & 2 Gun Championship!---- 2020 Cactus Classic Benchrest Ma...tch was held in Phoenix Arizona in March. Longtime March Scope Owner Larry Costa became the Champion for Light Varmint Grand(score .2034) and the 2-Gun(score .2095). Congratulations Larry !! We received a testimonial from Larry himself in below. March scopes have been the only scopes I have used for the last 10 years. They are superbly built with fine optics and rugged construction.

07.01.2022 The new march 4.5-28 looks the goods, great optics and nice and compact.

07.01.2022 Happy Sunday! Sometimes it pays to look at other sports for motivation and understanding. You can take away so much from analysing this and adapting it to what you do. Whether that is reloading, rifle prep or pulling the trigger.... Don't Practice til you get it right, Practice til you can't get it wrong! These guys are awesome, how many wheels have they changed to get it this slick and quick. Accuracy is Everything!
