March Compact 2.5-25x52

• 10x zoom range: The 2.5-25x magnification span covers close to mid-range work and extends into precise long-range shooting, reducing the need to switch optics between hunting, target, and tactical roles.
• 52 mm objective with ED glass: The large front lens and ED glass help maintain image brightness, contrast, and color control at higher magnification, which is especially useful when aiming at small targets or working in difficult light.
• SFP illuminated reticle: A second focal plane reticle keeps its apparent size consistent through the zoom range, making the sight picture familiar at every setting, while red illumination helps the aiming point stand out against dark backgrounds.
• Tactical multi-turn turrets with Zero Stop: Exposed turrets, 10 MIL per turn and a Zero Stop system support repeatable dialing for distance and a fast return to the original zero after elevation changes.
• Compact 30 mm build: At 338.00 mm and 665.00 g, this riflescope offers broad magnification in a relatively compact format, making it easier to mount on practical hunting rifles, service-rifle setups, and precision platforms.

About the March Compact Series

March Compact is a current second focal plane riflescope series built around a 30 mm body tube. Within the March lineup, it is the family that combines broad zoom ranges with a shorter, easier-to-mount format than many large tactical optics. The series is intended for a wide spread of uses, including hunting, tactical shooting, and service-rifle shooting, and it also appears in applications such as air-rifle competition, three-gun competition, and even rifle and shotgun use.

A key characteristic of the series is variety. March Compact models are offered in magnification ranges from 1-4x up to 2.5-25x, with objective sizes of 24 mm, 42 mm, or 52 mm depending on the model. The range also includes different turret styles, MOA or MIL adjustment systems, and illuminated or non-illuminated reticle configurations. That makes the series suitable for shooters who want March mechanical precision and Japanese build quality in a scope that can be tailored to fast field shooting, practical competition, or more deliberate long-range work.

About the March Compact 2.5-25x52

The March Compact 2.5-25x52 is the high-magnification end of the Compact family, built for shooters who want a wide operating range without moving to an oversized riflescope. Its 2.5-25x magnification gives it genuine flexibility: the low end remains usable for closer targets and field shooting, while the top end provides the image scale needed for precise shot placement, load development, and target work at distance. Combined with the 52.00 mm objective lens, the design supports a bright, detailed image when magnification is pushed upward.

This model uses a second focal plane reticle, which keeps the reticle visually consistent as magnification changes. In practice, that gives many shooters a cleaner sight picture at high power and a familiar reticle appearance across the zoom range. Red illumination helps the aiming point remain easier to pick up against dark game, shaded targets, or complex backgrounds, even though it is not intended as daylight-bright illumination.

The scope is configured with tactical turrets, Zero Stop, and 34.00 mrad of elevation adjustment with 17.00 mrad of windage adjustment. That layout suits shooters who dial corrections rather than relying only on holdover. The side focus from 10 m to infinity is useful for fine image adjustment across a very wide distance span, from short-range precision work to long-range shooting. A 30 mm tube, argon filling, waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction round out a riflescope that is designed to stay practical in the field while still offering the adjustment style and magnification range expected from serious target and tactical optics.

About March

March is the riflescope brand of DEON Optical Design Corporation, a Japanese company established in 2004. DEON designs and manufactures March scopes in Chino, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, and the brand is known for building specialized optics for demanding precision shooting applications. March scopes are designed by DEON and assembled in Japan using Japanese-made components, reflecting the company’s emphasis on mechanical precision and optical consistency.

The brand’s product families include March-FX, March-X, Genesis, and High Master riflescopes. Over time, DEON has introduced notable technologies such as Super ED lenses in the March range and the external adjustment concept used in the Genesis line. March first gained recognition with highly specialized high-magnification target optics, and that background still shows in the brand’s focus on repeatable adjustments, compact engineering, and advanced optical design for serious shooters.
