MTC or hawke panorama

Does the Mamba lite fit ok ? Which one , the 3-12 ? I have a Mamba 4-16x50 on another gun and I don't think that will fit.

Digging-deep, that Mamba lite looks good ,which one is it ?

[dhand62362 13]

4-16 x44 fits with medium mounts

Some people have reported quality issues with Hawke scopes. I have three Panoramas including a 4-12x40 AO fitted to my 97k; and I’ve experienced no problems. I simple love the fine lines of the half mildot reticle on the Panorama range over MTC, Simmons, Nikko and some of the other Hawke scopes I have bought/tried and sold due to reticle issues. Everyone has some preference in a scope and it’s best to try out as many as possible before final purchase.

There are some issues with some lines of Hawkes Chris. I've had an Airmax 6-18x42 SR12 fail on my HW77 But not all are bad. The Panorama series are among the best air rifle scopes I've seen yet.

 

I have a Panorama 4-12x50 EV AO IR on my HW97 which performs brilliantly well. No complaints there!

 

Cheers.

The 4-16x50 Mamba will fit on a 97kt - I had one on my synthetic and what a scope! depending how far back you mount the scope according to eye relief, the objective lense may overlap the loading bay, making loading a pellet quite fiddily. I have my scopes mounted quite far back so it wasn't a problem for me.

 

as for mamba lite, I have the 4x16x44 and its a really good scope, seems to suit the hw97kt very well (and perfect fit in medium mounts), as does the panorama 4x12x50 in high mounts

 

the whole hawke vs mtc is down to preference, but all of the scopes I have mentioned are great quality and suit the 97k/t very well

 

hope this helps

I just got a hw97kt topped with a 3-12 44 mamba lite and it fits well on the gun it's about a inch behind the loading port and is very clear and crisp but id recommend looking through some of the hawk range and see what you like.

 

I have a question as well I got this gun second hand and the scope is sitting on medium mounts but I think high mounts would be better im just wondering what you guys have for mounts on your 97kt's thanks. I'm planning on putting a bisley but pad and maybe a home tune kit in it so may do a review later on. thanks. Happy hunting

I prefer to have the scope as 'low' or as 'close to the barrel' as possible. Duno why i just do lol

I cannot wait till my mamba lite comes down!
