Thanks for that Gary. It will be my first time at HFT. The new rifle will be used for hunting and plinking, but as I am getting it in 177 I thought I might try my hand at HFT.

For that reason I really wanted to stick with an adjustable mag rather than the fixed. I understand that this is not ideal for HFT, and if I get into I will probably upgrade to a fixed. I can then still use the variable on one of my hunting rifles to replace a Bushnell. Obviously, if I buy a fixed mag and don't get on with HFT I will then have to sell the scope, probably making a loss.

That said, would the 3-12 be useless for HFT, or jut not as good as the fixed?

I had a look at the Mamba at my local RFD on Saturday and was very impressed. Would like to go for this scope if possible.

Cheers

Dan
