March Scopes Shorty 1-10x LPVO with Tactical Turrets, Dual Focal Planes 

Featuring the DR-TR1 reticle with Illuminated Center Dot and a “Christmas tree” pyramid of dots and hash marks- D10SV24FIMLN-DR-TR1

March Scopes made their name with some of the best glass in the business, while custom-building each scope by hand to order in Japan for the most demanding target shooter.  Along the way, March got noticed, and has expanded into more tactical scopes as well, and the Tactical F model 1-10x24mm "Shorty" has become a name in its own right.  The Shorty can take on the best in the LPVO field, and, like the S&B Dual CC, the Shorty FFP 1-10x scope features a red dot in the second focal plane, keeping a steady bead on the target, while the mil reticle is in the first focal plane, zooming in and out and providing quick tactical range finding.

The dual reticle provides to best aspects of a first focal plane and second focal plane reticle. It offers the convenience of a first focal plane reticle which shrinks and grows as the user zooms in and out, but still provides the usability of a second focal plane reticle with a constant line thickness as the magnification changes. This dual reticle, combined with an ultra-bright illuminated center dot allows the user to use the F Tactical Shorty as a standard riflescope at higher magnification as well as a red dot sight at close range on 1x magnification. The reticle itself is the advanced DR-TR1, featuring a precise illuminated center dot with a “Christmas tree” pyramid of dots and hash marks to serve as holdover points to compensate for bullet drop and wind drift.

Developing a dual focal plane scope is no easy matter.  The technical and assembly challenges with respect to dual reticles are extreme, and pushes the limits of the state of the art in reticle design. The tolerances required in assembly of the DR-1 are such that very few are able to do it, especially with a 10X zoom ratio. Any deviation from these extremely tight tolerances will be visible in the 10X zoom range. The assembly of this scope, is meticulous. March Scope has a passion for the superb assembly of an extremely strong yet fine work of art.  The F series 1-10x shorty does not disappoint.

True 1x and 10-fold zoom ratio scope 

The 1-10x F-Shorty Scope can be used just like a dot-sight with both eyes open for point-blank range, as it has true 1x capability. With its 10-fold zoom ratio, it can also be used for long range precision shooting.
