I had a March 2.5-25x42. Amazing all round scope. Dialed perfectly, great glass, light. If there was a downside, at 25x magnification the exit pupil was really small, as you would expect with a 42mm objective lens. The 52mm will make that a little easier. TBH it was not a problem, as at the ranges requiring maximum magnification, you tended to have a lot of time to get set up.
I'd still have the scope, if I did not go down the NV path with the 22lr.
Sorry, if this is not talking you out of dropping some serious coin on a scope.
