Owner’s Manual(English Language Edition)

Thank you for purchasing your March Rifle Scope.
Please read this owner’s manual thoroughly before
using your scope.

WARNING:
Never use a telescope to look at the Sun.
Using a rifle scope to look at the Sun will cause permanent andirreversible eye damage.
Make sure that you set enough eye relief position of your scope
to prevent injury from recoil. Setting your new scope withincorrect eye relief and improper mounting can cause physicaldamage to the shooter.

P1

Before you mount your new March ScopeYour new March scope has come out of the factory but will need to be
set up for your eyes. Before you begin using your March scope, you willneed to take a moment to level the scope's reticle, focus the reticle foryour eyes and bore sight your rifle.
Leveling the reticle for your new March scope is covered on Page 4.
Taking the time to do this as you set up your new scope is important toavoid canting and long range shooting errors.
The best way to focus your March scope's reticle is covered on Page 4.
This can either be done before or after the scope is mounted on yourrifle.
Bore sighting your March scope is covered in more detail on Page 5.
Making sure the rings and bases are perfectly aligned before setting up
your new scope will help to remove possible sighting errors by
eliminating structural pressure on your new scope. It will also keep
your March scope as close to its optical center as possible.
Adjusting your new March scope to the extremes of the elevation orwindage dials prevents you from sighting through the central axis of thescope. This means you will see the target through the outer edges ofthe optics, and this will degrade the image resolution.
We hope the following advice is helpful to you in setting up your new
March scope.

P2

Mounting your new March Scope
Preferred Rings and Bases
March recommends a one piece base such as a picatinny mount or a Stolle
type benchrest rail. A one piece mount removes many of the alignment
problems commonly seen in two piece mounting systems.
If a one piece base is not an option with your rifle, then that should not be
a serious problem. We recommend that whenever scope rings are installed
on a rifle, their alignment needs to be checked before a scope is mounted.
The best way to do this is to use a precision 30mm ring (or 34mm for the
March-X and March-FX models) alignment tool. Some lapping of thescope rings may be required to bring the scope rings into alignment.
However, if a scope is mounted in rings that are out of alignment thendamage to your new March scope could occur or potentially unreliable
performance. Your March Scope dealer can advise on some proper tools to
assist you mount your scope in the rings.
Position the scope rings so they do not sit too near the extreme ends of thescope or even too close together and use a torque wrench to tighten thescope ring screws. Positioning the rings at the extreme end of the scope
body could also cause damage to your new March. Check manufacturers
specifications for torque value. Usually 1.7-2.2 Nm but will varydepending on Alloy or Steel.
Setting the Eye Relief
With the bolt removed from the unloaded rifle, aim the rifle in yourusual shooting position. Very slowly move your March scope until you
can see the full field of view. No dark circles at the edges should bepresent at this stage, and there will be a comfortable eye relief.
Make sure that you set enough eye relief position of your scope toprevent injury from recoil. Setting your new scope with incorrect eyerelief and improper mounting can cause physical damage to the shooter.
P3

Leveling the Reticle
It is very important for the vertical reticle to be level with the center ofyour rifle’s bore. If this is not the case, canting of the rifle will occur
and this will cause accuracy problems at long range.
One of the easiest ways to check vertical alignment is to use a verticalstring line for example at about 10m in front of your rifle. Making
sure your rifle is completely level, look through your March scope andconfirm the vertical reticle is in line with the vertical string line.
At this point, use a torque wrench to tighten the scope ring screws.
Be sure to not over tighten the screws as this could also cause damage
to your new March. Check that the scope has not moved as the screws
are tightened.
Focus the Reticle
With your March scope securely
installed on your rifle, it is now time
to focus the reticle to your eyes.
With your scope at its lowest power
setting, rotate the eyepiece counterclockwise (when viewed from anormal shooting position) until theeyepiece moves freely. Looking
through scope, aim at plain background such as the blue sky or a sheetof white paper.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOOK AT THE SUN, AS PERMANENT EYEDAMAGE WILL RESULT.
When you turn the eyepiece, the reticle’s clarity will change as the
focal length changes. When the reticle is focused for your eyes, turnthe locking ring counter-clockwise until it is firm against theeyepiece.
Do not attempt to over tighten but it must be firm.
P4

Eyepiece Adjustment Line
(Zoom Scopes except EP-Zoom)

The factory setting of the eyepiece is at -0.5
diopter. It is indicated with white line.

The factory setting of
the eyepiece is indicatedwith white line.

The adjustment to suit normal eyesight should
not be too far from this position.
Once the eyepiece is set at the best position foryour eyes, it isn't necessary to alter the setting
often unless changing of visual acuity or user.
Rotate eyepiece lock ring and align it on the white line to set back tofactory setting of the eyepiece.
Sighting in your March Rifle Scope
The easiest way to sight in your March scope is to bore sight your rifle
against a target located between for example 25 and 50 meters away.
Bore sighting is easy. With your rifle securely rested and the bolt
removed, look through the bore and move the rifle until you can see
the target centered in the bore.
Without moving the rifle, look through the scope and adjust thewindage and elevation setting to adjust the scope’s reticle to the centerof the target.
Fire a shot at the target and adjust the windage and elevation settings tomove the reticle to the bullet’s point of impact.
Turning the elevation dial towards “UP” moves the Point of Aim(POA) higher, while turning the dial towards “DN” moves the POA
lower. Turning the windage dial towards “R” moves the POA to theright, while turning it to “L” moves the POA to the left.
After you have adjusted your scope to thepoint of impact, move the reticle back to thecenter of the target and fire another shot.
Repeat the adjustments to the windage andelevation dials until the point of aim meetsthe point of impact.
P5

Important note:
Please check where your dials settings are after you have zeroed yourrifle to the point of aim. The farther away the adjustments are fromthe central position (elevation and windage) the more opticalresolution will degrade. Also you will not have available full amountof elevation or windage in one direction. So if your scope adjustment
is set a long way off center to get the rifle zeroed this will indicate thealignment of the rifle bore is not at the same axis of the scope mountor base position.
Focus/Parallax adjustment
Your March Rifle Scope has a side focus
dial that can be used to focus the scope on
targets from approximately 10 yards toinfinity.
The number on the dial is not an absolutereflection of the actual distance as this isaffected by the user's eyesight andchanging environmental factors.

Side Focus dial

It is critical, particularly for target
shooting, that the setting be absolutely
parallax free.
This means there should be no movementof the reticle relative to the target. To
check this, move your head very slightly
upwards and down or left to right and seethat the reticle position does not move on
the target. Be careful not to accidentally
move your rifle when checking this.

Side Focus Dial
Illumination Model

The reticle should remain in the exact position aimed on the target as
you slightly move your head position for parallax free operation.
Adjust the focus dial until parallax free. If parallax movement is notcompletely removed you will have larger than usual grouping
dispersion of your shots.
P6

If the focus dial or zoom ring is stiff.
The side focus dial and zoom ring may be stiff to rotate due to lack ofuse or during cold weather. This is due to a settling of the lubricant
on the airtight seals over time, or an increased viscosity in the
lubricant at lower temperatures. Gently turning the dial back andforth will restore normal function.

Setting Elevation and Windage Zero
Customizing the windage and elevation zero on your new March scopeis easy. Loosen the three set screws using the provided Allen wrench(see picture). Once loose, the dial should turn easily and you can set thedial to any position required. Retighten the set screws being careful not
to over tighten them as damage may result.

Zero Set Function
March-F and March-FX models
have a Zero Set capability. Aftersetting the elevation dial to thedesired position,
hold the dial with your fingers
and turn the “0-SET” Dial
clockwise using a coin orcorrectly sized screw drive until
the bottom stop is reached.

Elevation Dial

0-Set DialAt this point the elevation cannot
be lowered so that you will not
lose your starting point.
If you do not need to use the Zero
Set function, turn the “0-SET”
dial counter-clockwise until itreaches the top of its travel.

*Please note that the direction of rotation differs according to themodel. Please refer to each product page for details.
For 4.5-28×52 and 1.5x-15x42, turn the “0-SET” Dial
counterclockwise using a coin or correctly sized screw drive until
the bottom stop is reached.
If you do not need to use the Zero Set function, turn the “0-SET”
dial clockwise until it reaches the top of its travel.

P8

Illuminating the Reticle
The Illumination Model (where fitted) on
March scopes produces four levels of lightintensity on the reticle for precision shooting
in low light or night conditions. Pushing therubber switch on the focusing dial activates theIllumination mode.
The Illumination Model cycles through OFF1-2-3-4-OFF each time the switch is pressed.
The 4 setting is the brightest. The Illumination
Model will automatically switch off after one
hour to conserve battery life.

Rubber Tactical Switch

Changing the battery
in the Illumination Module
Turn the switch counter-clockwise toexpose the battery compartment.
Replace the battery with a lithium
CR2032 battery. Pay special attention
to the battery polarity: the positive (+)
side of the battery must face the scope
body.

Using the Zoom to change magnification
Turn the zoom ring clock wise toincrease your scope’s magnificationand counter-clockwise to decreasemagnification. Use the index point toselect the most appropriate setting.

Zoom ringModifier Disk
30mm MD disk for 42mm objective lens
35mm MD disk for 52mm objective lens
43mm MD disk for 56mm objective lens

The Modifier Disk does not use any lenses. It is a lightweight
aluminum disk with a smaller diameter hole in it to reduce the amountof light entering the scope.
The Modifier Disk screws onto the scope via the threads in front of theobjective lens.
Using Modifier Disk with your March scope will:a; reduce the amount of light entering the scope by as much as50%(30mmMD disk), 50%(35mmMD disk), 40%(43mm MD disk).
(depending on the brightness of the conditions)b; increase the depth of focus by up to 50%(30mm MD disk),
50%(35mm MD disk), 40%(43mmMD disk).

If unnecessary brightness is
reduced and the focus depth
increased, a user's ability inreading mirage is enhanced as thesight picture is more defined indifficult conditions.
For light reduction purposes, it ispossible to use a camera filter on theeyepiece(Ø = 37mm, P= 0.75).
March recommends against using afilter on the objective lens because thisaffects target resolution.
P10

Flip Capa)Slide the correctly sized flip cap onto
the eyepiece or objective end of thescope until it meets the inner edge of thecap. If the flip cap is difficult to install
due to stiffness, warm it up first (onlywarm it slightly, do not apply directheat).
b) After flipping the cap open, push thecap down until it locks into the open
position. Make sure to lock the cap open
when using the scope.
c) While flip caps protect against rain anddust, they are not waterproof. All March
scopes are waterproof.

Manufacturing a March

Lens Design
March Rifle Scopes (except 1x-4x24, 1x-4.5x24, 1x-8x24 and 1x-10x24)
use multi-coated Extra-low Dispersion (ED) lenses to reduce chromaticaberration and to provide high image resolution even at maximum
magnification.
P12

ED lenses have a smaller refractive index than typical optical lenses inthe blue to red wavelength. This produces superior sharpness and color
correction. ED lenses are often used in microscopes, high-end
telescopes and semiconductors. ED lenses make it possible to maintain aconsistent, high quality image from the lowest to highest magnification
settings in your new March scope.
Internal Construction
March Rifle Scopes are made from specially heat-treated, high-grade
aluminum, special alloy steel and brass. The scope body is filled withargon gas to create a stable environment. To ensure that March Scopes
remain airtight, each scope is fitted with high performance, industrial
grade rubber O-rings.
First Focal Plane (FFP) design;
A reticle placed in the first focal plane will keep the same value
regardless of the magnification setting selected. This helps to simplify
ranging targets and aiming off in difficult conditions. The reticle and thetarget will increase in size as the magnification is increased but any hashmarks or divisions in the reticle pattern will retain a constant value.
For example, one Mil-Radian is a consistent measurement across thewhole power range.
To determine what measurements are covered by your March’s reticle,
please refer to the reticle information contained at the end of this manual.

“NOTE:
This riflescope has an internal adjustment range of 40MIL; 20
up, 20 down (130MOA; 75 up, 75 down). In any riflescope thebest image quality is at or near the center of the adjustments.
Because of the very wide adjustment range of this riflescope,
you may experience some image quality degradation as you
near the limits of the adjustment range. This can occur
because of the extreme refraction of the incoming light at theedges of the objective lens. This degradation will worsen as
the magnification increases.
Therefore, we recommend using an appropriate canted rail if
you plan to use this riflescope consistently near the limits of
the adjustment range and at higher magnification. It can beutilised to gain additional elevation and to keep the scope
optically centred as much as possible.
A 20MOA rail will shift the adjustment range by about 5.7MIL
to 25.7MIL up and 14.3MIL down.
A 30MOA rail will shift the adjustment range by about 8.6MIL
to 28.6MIL up and 11.4MIL down.

Eyepiece, you will be able to aim thetarget / game with a wide view.
Focus the Reticle
With your March scope securely installed on your rifle, it is now
time to focus the reticle to your eyes.
With your scope at its lowest power setting, rotate the eyepiececounter-clockwise (when viewed from a normal shooting position)
until the eyepiece moves freely. Looking through scope, aim at plain
back ground such as the blue sky or a sheet of white paper.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOOK AT THE SUN, AS PERMANENT EYEDAMAGE WILL RESULT.
When you turn the eyepiece, the reticle’s clarity will change as the
focal length changes. When the reticle is focused for your eyes, turnthe locking ring counter-clockwise until it is firm against theeyepiece.
Do not attempt to over tighten but it must be firm.

How to adjust 5-42x56

By shortening the objective focal length of 5-42×56, wewere able to realize a great amount of elevation travelcompared with other scopes which has the same 34mm
body tube diameter.
cf. 5-40×56 : 22MIL/76MOA, 5-50×56 & 10-60×56 & 880×56 : 60MOA (equivalent to about 17.1MIL)
This 5-42×56 has 40MIL (equivalent to about 140MOA)
which has the most travel amount among all the 34mm
body tube diameter March scopes.
However the focal depth will be shallower due to short
objective focal length,
and this will require finer adjustments for the side focus.
In case you find the image to blur, please readjust byfollowing.

P52

1) Please set the magnification at 5x.

2) Rotate the eyepiece and find the spot where you can
see the reticle the best. Please check below to see
how to properly adjust the diopter.
https://marchscopes.com/news/4946/

3) When you find the position where you can see thebest, rotate the stop ring and stabilize the eyepiece. You
only need to set the eyepiece once to suit your diopter.
4) Please set the magnification at 42x.

P535） Adjust the side focus
and bring the target into
focus.
* When you rotate theelevation, focus may shift.
In this case, pleasereadjust the side focus
turret.

In any riflescope the best image quality is at or near thecenter of the adjustments.
Because of the very wide adjustment range of thisriflescope, you may experience some image quality
degradation as you near the limits of the adjustment
range.
This can occur because of the extreme refraction of theincoming light at the edges of the objective lens.
This degradation will worsen as the magnification
increases but if you readjust the focus turret each time,
you will be able to see the image clearly.

P54

In case you do not wish to adjust each time, we
recommend using an appropriate canted rail if you plan
to use this riflescope consistently near the limits of theadjustment range and at higher magnification.
It can be utilized to gain additional elevation and to keep
the scope optically centered as much as possible.
A 20MOA rail will shift the adjustment range by about
5.7MIL to 25.7MIL up and 14.3MIL down.
A 30MOA rail will shift the adjustment range by about
8.6MIL to 28.6MIL up and 11.4MIL down.

== Caution！ ==Dial Lock

Dial Unlock

Elevation and Windage dial locking mechanism
Please set the Lock Lever on top of the dial to either the green or the redmark as far as it will go. If you rotate the dial with the Lock lever set at the
red mark or between the green and the red mark, the locking system will bedamaged. Please make sure that the lock lever is set at the correct position.

P55

Focus dial locking mechanism
When you lock the focus dial, please push it in as far as it will go.
When you unlock the focus dial, please pull it out as far as it will go.
If you rotate the focus dial in between or at a locked position, the locking
system will be damaged. Please make sure to rotate the focus dial at thecorrect position.

(Note)

The aim of the Locking mechanism of Elevation, Windage, Side focus dials
is to prevent the dials from accidentally rotating while on the move during
competitions or hunting. As the lock is not stiff, if you rotate the dials atincorrect positions with strong force it may lead to the damage of the locking
system. Also once the dials are in a locked position, please make sure not torotate them.
If any accident or misuse of the locking Elevation, Windage and Focus dials
lead to the damage of the locking system, DEON will repair it for a fee.
By any chance the locking system may damage, it will not affect other than thelocking mechanism itself. Dials can be used and E/W dials will still trackcorrectly.
