Frequently Asked Questions

What is a March tracking scope?

A March tracking scope, like the 8-80x56 concept model, is a spotting scope that features an internal reticle. This allows it to function beyond simple magnification, enabling users to replicate their rifle scope's aiming system for applications like hunting follow-ups or competitive shooting target observation.

What are the key features of the March 8-80x56 tracking scope?

The March 8-80x56 tracking scope boasts an impressive 80x maximum magnification. It includes an internal reticle, available in choices that can match existing March rifle scopes. It's being developed in both first focal plane (FFP) and second focal plane (SFP) configurations.

How does a tracking scope differ from a spotting scope?

The primary difference is the inclusion of a reticle within the tracking scope. While a traditional spotting scope only magnifies, a tracking scope incorporates aiming points, allowing for more precise observation and potential aiming, bridging the gap between observation and engagement.

What are the practical applications for a tracking scope?

Tracking scopes have diverse uses. For hunters, they aid in confirming shot placement on game. In competitive shooting, they help observers track targets during transitions or verify hits and misses on the range, especially at extreme distances where detail is crucial.
