philpot 5,039 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Must admit to a great liking of the Mamba Lites although they can give a white out i some conditions which the Hawke never seem to. I put the 3-12 on my HW110k which suits it really well and for now leaving the Hawke Airmax on the Impact which works very well but a tad on the heavy side. Did you not get on with the Falcon Jimmy, must say I would have been tempted but never seen through one but the reputation is very good and never tried to use a FFP scope and I am curious about them. It seems to be a 'love / hate' thing. Phil Quote Link to post

Just bought 4 new tyres for my daughter and another one coming tomorrow for mine. Why is it always at this time of year, things break or unforeseen purchases. I am becoming a 'Ba humbug' sort of guy I think. As a matter of interest, just how thick does the reticle become when zooming in, just never had any experience of them at all. I normally run between x3 - x7/8 so would that be an issue when shooting at long range I wonder. Phil Quote Link to post
villaman 9,982 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Not that thick Phil its nice scope and very clear glass plus they are great with the addon NV unit 1 Quote Link to post
