    I think thats why some models of the Mamba have removable IR unit

    They are available now and in my opinion are one of the best hunting scopes bar none, for the scope brand snobs amongst the shooting world I reckon if I showed them a Mamba and told them they started at £800 and it was the type they wanted they would buy one immediately

    Nothing is like a S&B, except a S&B

    But, having looked through a Mamba, it is a superb scope. Not sure the point about the removable IR unit (why not leave it on, it is very unobtrusive anyway). To my eyes it is 90% of the quality of my Bushnell 4200 Elite (optics-wise).

    S&B are the only scopes with their own league IMO something to do with crystals or something

    As for 90% of the Elite 4200, you are nearly correct, I actually know its 100% though I had a chap round here a week or two ago who repairs scopes for some companies that shall remain nameless but take it from me they were very expensive but not European

    He told me a few things about glass which went into techno mode, most went over my head but he rated the MTC glass as better than a make whos range starts just under a grand and exceeds it by several hundred

    I was testing two rifles yesterday, one a brand new Tikka that shoots like a shotgun had a Leupold LR, the other a Howa fitted with a Mamba, to my eyes the Mamba snuffed the Leupold at 1-200yds I was shooting and the Howa slaughtered the Tikka in accuracy, not bad for the cheaper end of the market

    That explains the Nikon honcho who was poking around the MTC stall on Saturday.
    I would never have known who he was, until Sammie told me that he'd visited them twice to check their range out.
