I think you might have something ginked up. I have 2 March High Master 10-50's on competition rifles. One thing I have noticed about those scopes is that when I get the reticle focused, it seems to jump out at me, almost like 3D or something. One of the things I really like about them.
Because Ideally, I'd like to keep it if I can get it to work for me. Am I doing something wrong with the focus settings? I don't have this problem with my other scopes. If I cant get it worked out, it will be going back.

This is an SFP scope. I set it up the way I've done with dozens of SFP scopes before. LOW power (this is also indicated in the manual) and looking at a plain white wall, or open blue sky. Adjusting as I go and only looking through for a couple of seconds. Right now the scope is taped onto an old rifle stock with folded towels under it to provide proper height. Not perfect but pretty close. I didn't want to fully mount it yet, in case I decide to return it.On FFP scopes and certainly the March, parallax and reticle focus (diopter) do interact. How exactly are you doing this? Are you hand holding the scope? What distance is the parallax set for? What magnification are you trying?
First and foremost: If you have a First Focal Plane scope, it's less forgiving than a Second Focal Plane scope. Failure to follow through on details will yield issues.Rifle Scopes - Setting up a FFP rifle scope - A simple PSA on Diopters

Try this if you're having issues or if you've never setup the diopter and parallax before. I had to figure this out the hard way. I've never seen it clearly spelled in a scope manual that worked. Here's how I do it and the process works.
1) Set to Max Power
2) Parallax set to Infinity (this is very important)
3) Point it at a solid, light background like a white wall or blue sky. You don't want anything except a solid, light color to look at.
4) Start from the diopter all the way into the occular and rotate out.
Don't stare into the optic, open and close your eye as you adjust such that you have no more than about 1 second open, 4-5s closed.
Did you ever get this reticle issue figured out?
any update on your march for durability? how you liking it. they just came out with a new model that looks like a perfect mountain hunting scope. 1.5x15-42mm FFP at a nice 24.69oz, locking elevation and windage turrets. This could replace the ATACR 4-16x42 if it holds up!
Hahah. I’m not overly a fan of that reticle either. But for hunting 700 yards and in it should be ok. This is their dual reticle one.
Exact same reason why I’m not a fan of donuts either, unless we’re talking maple bars.
Its suprising that the LRHS reticle did a donut right ( sectioned so it didn't obsurce the main stadia) but every other donut since hasn't followed suit.
Not sure what a 10x erector ratio is going to do for durability ... Jeff H said he's comfortable with 5 to 6, but 8 is too much ...any update on your march for durability? how you liking it. they just came out with a new model that looks like a perfect mountain hunting scope. 1.5x15-42mm FFP at a nice 24.69oz, locking elevation and windage turrets.

The 10x zoom is totally unnecessary. It has nothing to do with durability. I don’t get it personally, but it’s March’s thing and that’s what they built their shop on. They won’t build a lower zoom ratio. But man, if that did make a 5 or 6x in the Compacts, it would be nearly perfect IMO.
