We are introducing a new March 1–10×24 Shorty concept model at Shot Show and IWA 2026 that delivers high-end performance for dynamic shooting, tactical use, hunting, and fast-action competition—now featuring a new illuminated SFP reticle in MOA, capped turrets, and an integrated mounting that ensures consistent alignment.

Integrated Mounting Solutions

・Enhanced Stability and Precision
Integrated mounts minimizes movement and maintains consistent alignment, which is crucial for accuracy, especially in long-range shooting scenarios .

・Simplified Installation and Alignment
These mounts reduce the complexity of installation by eliminating the need for separate rings and bases. The one-piece design ensures that the scope is properly aligned with the rifle’s bore axis, reducing the chances of misalignment that can occur with multi-piece setups .

・Reduced Stress on the Scope Tube
By distributing clamping force evenly along the scope, integrated mounts minimize the risk of damaging the scope tube. This even distribution helps maintain the integrity of the scope and ensures consistent performance over time .

・Consistent Reticle Leveling
Integrated mounting systems often feature designs that facilitate precise reticle leveling, ensuring that the reticle remains horizontal. This consistency is vital for accurate shooting, as even slight canting can affect shot placement .

Compact Build and Rugged Design

Measuring just 215 mm (8.45 in) and weighing around 650g (22.9oz), this scope represents an ultra‑compact, high‑quality optic that doesn’t compromise durability. A 30 mm main tube is constructed from a solid aluminum ingot, its argon‑filled, waterproof, fog‑proof, and withstands impacts up to 1000 G.

True 1x–10x Speed and Precision

A genuine 1x magnification allows fast, both‑eyes‑open shooting akin to a red dot, while 10x magnification supports precise mid- to long-range shots. It offers a 10x zoom ratio, making it equally versatile for close-range action and precision engagements, making it ideal for universal carbines and competitions like the NRA American Rifle Challenge.

Generous Eye Box & Side Focus Parallax

With eye relief from 68-104 mm (at 1x) / 71-97mm (at 10x), users gain a wide eye box enabling rapid target acquisition without strict eye‑placement, essential for fast‑action shooting and carbine platforms. Side focus adjustment allows parallax correction from 10 yd to infinity, keeping both speed and clarity at various distances.

Maintaining a 1x lower magnification is critical for close range encounters. March’s expertise in precision optics allows a true 1x to be maintained for close range, and a magnification zoom all the way to 10x for extended range shooting. Rigorous testing has proven March Scopes will retain zero throughout the magnification zoom range. The second focal plane reticle is always easy to see and there is no confusion about aiming during high stress encounters. The MTR-DLC reticle is not cluttered with multiple unnecessary aiming points to avoid confusion in fast action encounters. The reticle is designed to be properly zeroed with a 50 – 200 yard zero, then the turrets capped to assure there will not be any unexpected zero adjustments. The tapered outer lines of the scope reticle will quickly draw the shooter’s eye to the center of the reticle. The selectively illuminated ‘speed ring’ will allow for very fast aimed fire when required for close action and or moving targets. The fine center crosshair will allow ultra precise shot placement in accuracy critical situations. These features make this March 1-10×24 compact scope an excellent choice for resolving a wide range of situations. This MTR-DLC reticle is designed, also for use with universal carbine in mind, by Dave Lauck (USA) who served as a frontline responder and SWAT sniper, won at world championship level tactical rifle competition, and has been at the forefront of performance firearms development for decades.
