We had the privilege to have our March 1.5-15×42 tested by Hugo Adelson in the US (former member of USAMU) .

First, below are some impressive highpoints on shooting background information of Hugo.

He has been in shooting for more than 52 years, won many championships and has served for the US army

where he participated in numerous equipment tests and Marksmanship training for USAMU.

The new 1.5-15×42 SFP in MOA is the scope Hugo tested.

We have both MIL and MOA versions for this scope and designed 1.5-15×42 in MOA 

so that the 15x top magnification will make it a perfect choice for the NRAʼs new Mid-Range Tactical Rifle competitions.

Here are the evaluation results of our new 1.5-15×42 March Scope by Hugo. (I have quoted the exact words from Hugo)

(1) Box Test on Scatt

Repeatable through a 5-minute box test of wind/elevation.

(2) Optic Clarity 

Very bright and clear across entire radius of objective. 

I did take the scope out and look across a field of several hundred yard in low light cloudy conditions.    

(3) Reticle of the 1.5-15×42 scope – MTR-5 reticle with a 0.5MOA Dot 

My other March scope 2.5-25×42 has a non-illuminated MTR-3.

I never had an issue with reticle clarity or placement on target. 

This is my 1^st time using the illuminated dot and I’m sold on this and the MTR-5 reticle.

(4) Scope size 

Really liked the smaller footprint. Less surface for a wind sale especially in Offhand. 

It also allowed for placement on the mounting rail where the entire scope inside supporting hand lending to better balance.

Here is a side-by-side comparison with the 2.5x-25x x42mm clearly showing the smaller size.  

(The upper scope is 2.5x-25x x42mm and the lower scope is the new 1.5-15×42 scope in the picture below.)

There is less surface area for the wind to push the rifle around.

Also note the Offhand Position and my left hand. 

The smaller footprint allows for the scope to sit back under the supporting left hand providing better control.

(5) Magnification

I think the 1.5 to 15 range is perfect for XTC (Across the Course. This is either CMP or NRA.).

From experience with my other scopes I suggest the following magnification settings.

– Offhand : 5X

– Sitting Rapid at 200 yards : 6-8X (depending on mirage)

– Prone Rapid at 300 yards : 10X 

– Prone Rapid at 600 yards : 12X

Thank you Hugo for taking the time to evaluate our 1.5-15×42 scope.
