When you do turn it on first thing in the morning on the highest setting it will automatically change to the dimmest setting after a couple of minutes. The illumination is worthless and a complete joke. They should not be happy with selling it to be honest.
Sorry to hear it.
I don't have those scopes but have a couple of the larger and the illum works fine. I had a choice of low or high range illum and chose low range.
I had to return the 3-24x42FFP as the parallax wouldn't resolve at long range, it maxed out at about 400M. It was returned to Japan by the retailer and on return there was a letter from the senior Deon guy apologising and saying it was fixed. It will now resolve to distance but still there is almost no travel on the dial between 400 and infinity. My other March scope is more gradual.
I heard from another March dealer that there were a few too many issues with parallax not coinciding with focus however both are fine on mine. Nightforce has moved up in the 'best scope' space in my part of the world, but so has their prices. March scope glass is very clear, but so is NF, and no doubt other top end scopes.
I still recommend them for the 10x zoom ratio, clear glass, weight/compactness and repeatability but these little issues I keep hearing about don't help.
