Heavy heat mirage is one of the most challenging conditions for any riflescope. In this video, F-Class John is using the the latest addition to the March lineup, March-X 8-80×56 Majesta Genll under extremely challenging mirage conditions. No optic can completely eliminate its effects, but even with the intense shimmer, he is able to stay on target and deliver accurate shots.

Some viewers may feel that the target still looks difficult to see—and that’s perfectly understandable given the conditions shown in the video. Even so, we believe the footage highlights how optical resolution and contrast can help in these demanding conditions. The March-X 8-80×56 Majesta Genll helps the shooter extract as much useful information as possible when the atmosphere is far from ideal. The MTR-WFD reticle also appears to help by making it easier to bracket the target consistently, even as the mirage causes the image to shift.

Sometimes, the biggest difference an optic can make is not removing the mirage, but allowing you to read through it just a little better.
