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 facial impact during recoil. Setting your new scopewith incorrect eye relief and improper mounting can cause
injury to the shooter.

Cold Conditions and Nonuse Performance Recovery
To ensure an airtight seal, GENESIS uses packing for therotating sliding portion of the scope. Under cold conditions, orwhen not in use for prolonged periods, the packing may stickand elevation movement may become unstable. Should thisoccur, press the eyepiece downward ten times to stabilize.

Before you mount your new March GENESIS ScopeYour new March GENESIS scope has come out of the factory pre-set at -0.5
diopter setting. Before you begin using your GENESIS scope, you will need totake a moment to focus the reticle for your eyes and bore sight your rifle.
The best way to focus your GENESIS scope's reticle is covered on Page 6. Thiscan either be done before or after the scope is mounted on your rifle.
Bore sighting your GENESIS scope is covered in more detail on Page 7.
We hope the following advice is helpful to you in setting up your new GENESISscope.

The March GENESIS scope is no ordinary rifle scope. Traditional rifle
scopes are designed and constructed with an internal assembly
which moves the image of the reticle and field of view as the turrets
are adjusted. For long range shooting, the FOV is shifted far enoughoff the centerline of the lenses that optical resolution is reduced.
Unfortunately, it is at long ranges where the shooter needs the best
clarity. Long range shooters often use MOA inclined rail below theirscopes, not just to provide more elevation adjustment but to keep
the reticle closer to the optical centerline of the lenses when sighted
in at long range. In the GENESIS scope, the reticle remains fixed, so it
is always optically centered within the internal lens assembly of thescope, thus maximizing optical clarity in all conditions.

Imagine the GENESIS scope as a non-adjustable scope within acomplex mounting system capable of adjusting the elevation of thescope 400MOA. The GENESIS turrets are external to the inner scopetube which pivots both horizontally and vertically on a complex
gimbled system, and a pair of return springs insure that the “innerscope” is always held firmly against the turrets ensure.

Elevation Adjustment for MOA

Elevation Adjustment for MIL

To enhance the 400MOA range of the elevation turret, a 150MOA
base is integrated into the GENESIS Picatinny mount, so instead ofhaving 200MOA up and 200MOA down, the range shifts to 350MOA
up and 50MOA down. This is designed to allow targeting out tothree miles subject to rifle system, ammunition, and environmentalconditions.
Mounting your new GENESIS Scope
Attach the GENESIS base mountto the GENESIS scope body.
GENESIS base stud (A) inserts
into the hole (B) on GENESIS
base mount installation site.
Secure with the attached four
short screws (5 x 15).
The use of a medium strength
Loctite or similar threadlock isrecommended.

Mount Spacer

Add the mount spacer
between the GENESIS scope
body and GENESIS basemount, which enables fullrange of scope adjustmentof rifles with full length
picatinny rails.
Use of the mount spacer
requires the attached four
long screws (5x35) for fullstop and space required.
The use of a medium
strength Loctite or similar
threadlock is recommended.

Setting the Eye Relief
With the bolt removed from the unloaded rifle, aim the rifle in yourusual shooting position. Very slowly move your GENESIS scope until
you can see the full field of view. No dark circles at the edges should
be present at this stage, and there will be a comfortable eye relief.
Make sure that you set enough eye relief position of your scope toprevent facial impact during recoil. Setting your new scope withincorrect eye relief and improper mounting can cause injury to theshooter.
Focus the Reticle
With your GENESIS 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 a plain background such as the blue sky or asheet of white paper.

Lock

Lowest powerfreeDO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOOK AT THE SUN, AS PERMANENT EYEDAMAGE WILL RESULT.
When you turn the eyepiece, the reticle’s clarity will change as thefocal 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.

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

The factory setting ofthe 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 is not 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 GENESIS Rifle Scope
The easiest way to sight in your GENESIS scope is to bore sight yourrifle against a target located between for example 25 and 50 metersaway.
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 thecenter of the target.
Fire a shot at the target and adjust the windage and elevation settings
to move 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 the right,
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.
P7

Focus/Parallax adjustment
Your GENESIS Rifle Scope has a side focus
dial that can be used to focus the scopeon targets from approximately 20 yards
to infinity.
It is critical, particularly for target
shooting, that the setting be absolutely
parallax free.
This means there should be no
movement of the reticle relative to thetarget. To check this, move your headvery slightly upwards and down or left toright and see that the reticle position
does not move on the target. Be careful
not to accidentally move your rifle whenchecking this.

The reticle should remain in the exact
position aimed on the target as you
slightly move your head position forparallax free operation.
Adjust the focus dial until parallax free. If
parallax movement is not completely
removed you will have larger than usual
grouping dispersion of your shots.

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 thelubricant at lower temperatures. Gently turning the dial back andforth will restore normal function.
Set screw (3)Setting Elevation and Windage Zero

Customising the windage and elevation
zero on your new GENESIS scope is easy.
Loosen the three set screws using theprovided Allen wrench (see picture).
Once loose, the dial should turn easily
and you can set the dial to any position
required. Retighten the set screws
being careful not to over tighten themas damage may result.

Zero Set Function
GENESIS model have a Zero Set capability.
After setting the elevation dial to thedesired position,
hold the dial with your fingers and turnthe “0-SET” Dial clockwise using a coin orcorrectly sized screw driver until thebottom stop is reached.
At this point the elevation cannot belowered and so you never lose yourstarting point.
If you do not need to use the Zero Set
function, turn the “0-SET” dial counterclockwise until it reaches the top of its
travel.

Illuminating the Reticle

The Illumination Model (where fitted) on
GENESIS 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
the Illumination mode.
The Illumination Model cycles through OFF1-2-3-4-OFF each time the switch is pressed.
The 4th setting is the brightest. The
Illumination Model will automatically switch
off after one hour to conserve battery life.

Rubber Illumination Switch

Changing the battery
in the Illumination Model
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 to increase your scope’s magnificationand counter-clockwise to decrease magnification. Use the index
point to select the most appropriate setting.
Please take special note:On the GENESIS FFP lens system, the erector lenses must be moved
considerably to achieve 10x magnification ratio. A slight lag occurs
between movement of the zoom cam and movement of the erector lenses.
This will cause diopter shift between 18x and 23x. At this time if you
move zoom ring back and forth slightly it fixes the lag and you canadjust the focus of reticle. Diopter shift by zooming is adjusted within
0.5 diopter.

Modifier Disk
Modifier Disk for 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 theamount of light entering the scope.
The Modifier Disk screws onto the scope via the threads in front of theobjective lens.
6x-60x56: M58mm P=0.75mm
4x-40x52: M55mm P=0.75mm
Using Modifier Disk with your March scope will:a; reduce the amount of light entering the scope by as much as40%(depending on the brightness of the conditions)b; increase the depth of focus by up 40%.

If unnecessary brightness isreduced 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.
P11

Fast Levera)Firstly set the upper part of Fast Lever(with knob) on the scope magnification
zoom ring.
Set the wider nails toward left. Set thelever knob right on the scope zoom ringknob. Make sure if the lever can fit on thescope zoom ring properly.

b) Next set the lower part of lever on thescope zoom ring.

Set the small hook of the lower part onto
the windage side hook of the upper part.
Then set the bigger hook of the lower part
onto the other side of the upper part until
it clicks into place. It will be all set when
the lever can fit and cover on the scopezoom ring completely.

How to remove the lever?
Once unhook the bigger hook of the lower part,all parts can be removed easily.

P12Flip Capa)Slide the correctly sized flip cap onto
the eyepiece or objective end of thescope until it meets the inner edge ofthe cap. If the flip cap is difficult toinstall due to stiffness, warm it up first(only warm it slightly, do not apply
direct heat).
b) After flipping the cap open, push thecap down until it locks into the open
position. Make sure to lock the cap
open during scope use.
c) While flip caps protect against rain anddust, they are not waterproof. AllMarch scopes are waterproof.

Making a MarchLens DesignHighMaster Lenses
Incredible Super ED* lens formula which is closer to fluorite than
traditional ED lenses for superior correction of chromatic aberration.
The resulting sight picture provides unsurpassed edge to edge
definition and renders colour in true-to-life hues across the entire fieldof view.
*ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens:
Reduces the colour separation effect of the prism.

Temperature Anti-Drift Lens System
In the latest optical systems for automotive cameras, a new lensmaterial has been developed to accommodate changes inenvironmental temperature by altering the refractive index of thelenses. This new lens material has been adopted for the newHighMaster optics to create a more stable lens system that naturally
adapts to changes in temperature to maintain focus and clarity over awide range of conditions.
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. Importantly, March Rifle Scopes contain noplastic internal parts.

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
hash marks or divisions in the reticle pattern will retain a constantvalue. For example, one Mil-Radian is a consistent measurement
across the whole power range.
To determine what measurements are covered by your March’s reticle,
please refer to the reticle information contained at the end of thismanual.
