March FX PRS Edition 5-42×56

[Moondog]

March Scopes is known for producing world-class premium optics. But they aren’t very well known, because of their eye-watering prices and because their scopes are only sold by specialty optics stores. Their scopes have been in high demand among professional F-class and benchrest shooters. Last year, March enlisted a professional PRS shooter to help optimize a March-FX High Master scope for PRS and NRL style shooting.

I had the opportunity to see a prototype of the March-FX High Master PRS Edition FX Gen II at the SHOT Show 2025. And I got an opportunity to meet the designer of its FML-WBR reticle, Brandon Rudge. This scope was eye-catching for the silver bands around its turrets. But this wasn’t just for style, Brandon got March engineers to make turrets out of a metallic material that could be written on with whiteboard, dry-erase markers to mark off target dope during competitions. A simple yet brilliant feature that I predict will be ripped off and copied by other scope makers.

The scope has some other differences from the standard March-FX. It has non-locking turrets, so there is no chance of an accidental lockup during a stressful match when adrenaline makes turret adjustments challenging. The reticle illumination has been removed to allow for a thinner, finer etching of the reticle. All of these features enhance this scope’s already stunning glass, exceptional range of magnification, and wide field of view, to make a scope that is optimized for PRS / NRL competition.

One additional note, the testing demo sample I received was missing the break-away throw lever and MD aperture filter normally included with this scope. And the mount is an Area 419 Tactical Series Scope Mount.
