    I know where Deben have their scopes made and they are decent quality. When you pay over £100 for a scope you are not getting a Milk Bottle. The prices of Chinese optics have always been low, quality is driving up. There is crap out there but Deben scopes are not crap.

    You get a decent scope for a decent price with excellent back up and good national supply.

    When you are looking for a scope don't discount Deben because of a scope snobs view. Look through all the scopes in your price range and make up your own mind

    Just a few years ago Hawke produced some of the direst scopes to ever grace a gun. The sidewinder was undoubtedly a bad joke foisted on us by marketing men who simply can't have shot a gun in their lives. The old airmax was a milk bottle bottom quality scope. Only the cheap Reflex stood out as a decent effort. These days they have removed their collective digits from their corporate bumhole and actually make some decent scopes. They have listened to shooters and actually taken advice from folk who know how to shoot an airgun. The SR range have one of the best reticles ever designed and have optics that are now perfectly useable. I know many well informed shooters who've opted for the SR6 over scopes at three or more times the price. I am one of them.

    I've had Hawke varmint 11 scopes on my rifles now for 4 years and they are a nice bit of kit all day long.I've had them on powerful springers(eliminator) and been on my rapid now for 4years without ever to re-zero and very accurate.

    I brought a Hawke nite-eye last year to fit on my carrer ,as I went to fit it I noticed the rough finish on the scope and inside were the sun-shade screws on,tried to screw it no but it were'nt having it,sent the scope back to uttings,replaced it for me and so this time I changed my mind and put it on the mfr.About 7months on I noticed little black speks inside the scope,thought nothing of it,as time went by the scope was getting worse,phone up uttings sent it,this time I was not going to replace it I was going to get a varmint11,much much superior then the nite-eye but I wanted a low-light scope for shooting and I asked about the MTC scopes,did abit of finding out and told uttings to hold on to the money and I will pay the diffrence and got meself one of these mtc scopes 4-16x50.

    It really packs alot of surprise's the mtc scope,best len's,very well made,alot of xtra goodies and a point-able scope,yes they are afew pounds more then a varmint but as my old man say's "you get what you pay for".

    I wont sell the varmint's as they are perfect on my rifles but come when they decide to give up or start to turn 20 odd colours iside the scope then I will replace them all with a mtc.
