State of the Art 1-10x Compact Carbine Scope

New concept model 1-10x24 with integrated mount for 2026
We are introducing a new March 1-10x24 Shorty concept model at Shot Show and IWA 2026 that delivers high-end performance for dynamic shooting, tactical use, hunting, and fast-action competition-now featuring a new illuminated SFP reticle in MOA, capped turrets, and an integrated mounting that ensures consistent alignment.

Integrated Mounting Solutions
• Enhanced Stability and Precision
Integrated mounts minimizes movement and maintains consistent alignment, which is crucial for accuracy, especially in long-range shooting scenarios.
• Simplified Installation and Alignment
These mounts reduce the complexity of installation by eliminating the need for separate rings and bases. The one-piece design ensures that the scope is properly aligned with the rifle's bore axis, reducing the chances of misalignment that can occur with multi-piece setups.
• Reduced Stress on the Scope Tube
By distributing clamping force evenly along the scope, integrated mounts minimize the risk of damaging the scope tube. This even distribution helps maintain the integrity of the scope and ensures consistent performance over time.
• Consistent Reticle Leveling
Integrated mounting systems often feature designs that facilitate precise reticle leveling, ensuring that the reticle remains horizontal. This consistency is vital for accurate shooting, as even slight canting can affect shot placement.

Compact Build and Rugged Design
Measuring just 215 mm (8.45 in) and weighing around 650g (22.9oz), this scope represents an ultra-compact, high-quality optic that doesn't compromise durability. A 30 mm main tube is constructed from a solid aluminum ingot, its argon-filled, waterproof, fog-proof, and withstands impacts up to 1000 G.

True 1x-10x Speed and Precision
A genuine 1x magnification allows fast, both-eyes-open shooting akin to a red dot, while 10x magnification supports precise mid- to long-range shots. It offers a 10x zoom ratio, making it equally versatile for close-range action and precision engagements, making it ideal for universal carbines and competitions like the NRA American Rifle Challenge.

Generous Eye Box & Side Focus Parallax
With eye relief from 68-104 mm (at 1x) / 71-97mm (at 10x), users gain a wide eye box enabling rapid target acquisition without strict eye-placement, essential for fast-action shooting and carbine platforms. Side focus adjustment allows parallax correction from 10 yd to infinity, keeping both speed and clarity at various distances.

D&L Reticle
 
Maintaining a 1x lower magnification is critical for close range encounters. March's expertise in precision optics allows a true 1x to be maintained for close range, and a magnification zoom all the way to 10x for extended range shooting. Rigorous testing has proven March Scopes will retain zero throughout the magnification zoom range. The second focal plane reticle is always easy to see and there is no confusion about aiming during high stress encounters. The MTR-DLC reticle is not cluttered with multiple unnecessary aiming points to avoid confusion in fast action encounters. The reticle is designed to be properly zeroed with a 50 - 200 yard zero, then the turrets capped to assure there will not be any unexpected zero adjustments. The tapered outer lines of the scope reticle will quickly draw the shooter's eye to the center of the reticle. The selectively illuminated 'speed ring' will allow for very fast aimed fire when required for close action and or moving targets. The fine center crosshair will allow ultra precise shot placement in accuracy critical situations. These features make this March 1-10x24 compact scope an excellent choice for resolving a wide range of situations. This MTR-DLC reticle is designed, also for use with universal carbine in mind, by Dave Lauck (USA) who served as a frontline responder and SWAT sniper, won at world championship level tactical rifle competition, and has been at the forefront of performance firearms development for decades.

Dave,
I think the March 1-10x scope and reticle are 'fantastic'. It is hands down the best LPVO I've ever gotten behind, and the reticle is 'perfect'. I truly enjoy the fine crosshair in the circle. Great for both fast target acquisitions and precise shots. The rifle shoots like a dream and the scope is fantastic....the parallax on the scope is perfect as well, and it focuses down tremendously. Thank you very much for an amazing rifle........
Best Regards and Semper Fi

Dave,
Re your March custom 2.5x - 25x SFP with D&L reticle:
I have that itch for a solid performing tough as nails SFP scope that can get to distance and has a clean view. Compared to what I learned as a young jarhead it's been a while since I had to mil a target at range with a SFP reticle and the way you designed those ranging subtensionsis on yours is absolutely perfect (much faster than the old mil dots). You lose too much elevation and the stable size reticle through the magnifaction ranges on a FFP scope. I absolutely dislike the current trend with the young HOG's to use these new incredibly busy FFP reticles like the Horus and other Xmas trees.
Take Care and Semper Fi
