Fumio Shimizu, President of DEON (manufacturer of March Scopes), hand assembles the new shuriken lock turrets

Posted 06/07/2023

Fumio Shimizu, the top hardware designer and the President of DEON (manufacturer of March Scopes), always assembles new products himself first when he designs them. A high degree of assembly precision is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the product. To achieve this, it is crucial to check the process of assembling the product he designed himself to ensure that the assembly process is not too complicated. In the picture below, Shimizu is now hand assembling the shuriken lock turrets used in the product model, after completing the product assembly check.

Shimizu is old fashioned and he designs everything by hand. Because he has been in this field for a long time, strangely enough measurements are very accurate. He use a ruler to draw lines and colored pencils to paint.

This year March Scopes launched 4 new exciting models (including updated models) all with the new shuriken lock turrets! 

(1) 1-10×24 FFP Shorty Scope with a 34mm body tube (Dual reticle (FFP+SFP ) or FFP reticle)

The difference between the current (original) and the new model is the shuriken lock turrets and also the tube size. Current (original) scope has a 30mm tube.

(2) 1.5-15×42 FFP Scope with a 34mm body tube (Dual reticle (FFP+SFP ) or FFP reticle)

The 1.5-15×42 SFP was so well received that we developed an FFP scope with the same magnification.

(3) 4.5-28×52 FFP High Master Wide Angle Scope with a 34mm body tube

The difference between the current (original) and the new model is the shuriken lock turrets. 

(4) 8-80×56 SFP High Master Wide Angle Majesta Scope with a 34mm body tube
