Hi
I bought an MTC Cobra 3-9x42AO for £53. It came with a set of flip up covers and a pair of mounts with double screw which are of pretty good qua;ity.
The scope itself is very well made but has a very "basic" look about it.
The optics are very sharp and clear with excellent definition even at maximum magnification.
The AO ring and zoom ring are very, very smooth with no sound of grating or grinding.
It was bought to replace a Nikko Stirling Gold Crown Airking 3-9x42AO, the MTC has noticeably sharper optics at higher magnifications and just a brighter, higher contrast image.
The mildots and crosshairs are just a tiny touch too thick for my liking, the Nikko are much finer, but the MTC retcile is perfectly useable.

For the price I wouldnt recommend any other scope.
I would recommend this above any of the AGS and Hawke scopes.
In my opinion it is much better than a Bushnell Trophy scope that I had previously.

A fine piece of glass.
