HOT NEWS FROM IWA!

Target Shooter were lucky enough to be at the launch event of this class leading new scope from March Scopes.

This latest scope from March, the Genesis represents an evolution of scope technology and design – the dawn of a new era for the long range shooter and the exciting new discipline of ELR (extreme long range) shooting – i.e. out to two miles!

The concept of Genesis was born late 2016 by a group of world championship winning shooters and operators who wished to have a scope that could be used to shoot in excess of two miles without external influences.

The chief engineers of DEON Optical Design took on the challenge and produced several prototype designs, which were tested extensively on four continents. Eventually, together with the brilliance of DEON, they have produced a truly ground-breaking and evolutionary scope. This is the first of a kind design – a new beginning in scope design – a Genesis.

The Genesis will extend the accuracy capability of modern rifles without the need for modifications – such as inclined rails, adjustable mounts or prism systems.

The Genesis ELR rifle scope offers up to 400 MOA of elevation, which will allow the shooter to shoot from 10 yards out to 3 miles – subject to appropriate rifle and environmentals.

The Genesis uses ffp (first focal plane) technology, where the reticle is always true at any power. The unique design of this scope allows the shooter to always see through the central part of the lens, producing clarity, definition and minimal chromatic aberration, as opposed to other scopes, when extreme elevation is used. This will hold true even on 400 MOA!

Also incorporated into Genesis is the already proven DEON ‘High Master’ lens system which utilises super ED lenses with high-refractive glass offering very high resolution and natural colour right to the edge of the image.
