mtc mamba lite

[aaronpigeonplucker 32]

hi all,

i have been allowed a new scope for my 14th birthday (the day i can fianlly shoot by myself) and i have narrowed it down to an mtc mamba lite. as the name suggest, MTC optics have tried to make this scope as light as possible with very few add ons just the way i like it. now i am left to which mag: 3-12x44 or 4-16x44. i will do most of my shooting off a bipod so i have a pretty steady rest but i still want to keep the settup light. which should i go for? now a lot of hunters say they stay on 6x all the time but i have tried this and always find myself keeping my mag on 10x and wanting more magnification. i maily hunt but i dabble in HFT which i'm getting increasingly better at. which mag should i go for? one note is that this scope has sidewheel parralax adjustment and as any hft shooter knows, the higher the magnification the more accurate the rangefinding. this would save me having to buy a rangefinder as well.

thanks,

Aaron.

I have just bought a MTC Viper 10x44 and Its awesome!! It dont feel heavy and is a bit cheaper than the 2 scopes you are looking at worth a look I feel!!

hi Aaron

the mamba lite has a 25mm tube,so not as much light as a 30 mm tube,also you must mean 4-16X50 as they don't do a 4-16x44

the mamba 3-12x44 SCB is for General hunting & Target and the 4-16X50 SCB is for Long range hunting and target.so if your after more mag then the 4-16X50 is your choice,i have one of these and they are really good & crystal clear .but don't for get they don't do a side wheel for the mamba.just in case you don't know this also don't get the German A4 get the SCB ret far much better.

 

i have the 3-12x44 mamba 30"tube on my AAS410K.22 & the 4-16X50 30"tube mamba on my AAS410K .177 for a longer range shot! conditions depending

mtc mamba lite 4-16x44 : http://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=mtc_mamba_lite_4-16x44

the lite version of the mtc mamba has no IR so is a little lighter as well as a smaller tube. i rarely shoot at night anyway. thanks davy i think i'll go for the higher mag verion.

Have a look at the Walther 4-12x50 30mm too. Chuffed to bits with mine.

[aaronpigeonplucker 32]

thanks andy, i'll take a look. one thing i really like about MTC optics is the SCB reticle.

[stealthy1 3,964]

Go for the IR version Aaron, because the Summers coming, and you know the rabbits love that last hour before it gets dark, plus you have a bipod, so weights not an issue

[andyfr1968 772]

Yup, Stealthy's got a good point there. The Walther's IR. It really is the best scope I've come accross for the money. Good old Ramsbottoms!
