    SCB 4-16X50.
    The IR Unit is now perminately fixed 'glued on ' by manufacturer.
    Bought mine at the Midland Gamefair 08.
    The click adjustments do dislay some slight movement and are very quiet in operation. Is this the norm ?
    Just been zeroing on my Tikka T3 Hunter in Optiloc Mounts.
    Scope is nice and clear with a little whiting out with the sun behind me.
    Not bothered with the lenscovers or sunshade at the moment .

    i had a look through a few scopes today two burris fullfields a rickter optics and the mamba ....... if it was me buying my new scope instead of my good lady i would've plumped for the burris fullfield 2.5-10x50 with the ballastic plex but at £375 it went back in the box ... i'm settling for the mamba but i'll have to wait as my birthday aint until sunday 21 again

    MTC MAMBA Vs FALCON MENACE

    Hi guy's, read all the above with great interest and I must say I looked through my mates Mamba the other night under the red filter whilst rat shooting, very impressed, how would the Falcon Menace compare as I have not had the chance to look through one yet. Im looking at buying a new scope with IR but do I want to get the same as my mate? If its the best VFM yes I will. Please vent you views Cheers Terry

    Cannot speak for the Menace, but I did own a Falcon Merlin and it was a very good scope. The only significant downside for me was optically in certain circumstances: if the sun was in front or to the side a little, the light bouncing off my eye's cornea would be reflected into the eyepiece lens, then reflect back at you in a rather annoying manner. Not massively serious, but annoying. I've changed my cornea.

    Just cos ya mates got one doesn,t mean to say you shouldn,t have one.
    Whether you,ll be able to use it as well as ya mate is a different issue.

    Mates Mamba

    Hi Ady, I have been out with my mate today and whilst I am shooting using a BSA baked bean can scope I dont seem too flustered, the BSA I have as great clarity and holds zero very well and the mil dot reticule is easy to get on with if it had IR I would stay with it. Cheers T

    Yaroooooooooooooooh
