    Isn't rocket science..

    If you get a faulty scope..call the manufacturer. All sorts of things can happen. When you have sold x thousand scopes you will have coating problems, internal paint problems, turrets falling off..pretty much everything.

    If somebody prefers to keep a scope then knock quality so be it, but we do prefer to correct issues. Every MTC customer should have a scope they are happy with.

    Why do people come on here slagging manufactures off, if you have a problem give them a call, i have read a lot of stuff on this forum and have nothing but praise for the work gary and sammie do.
    I have just sold both my vipers so i can try out the new mamba lite range of scopes, when you find a company who have a proven record of customer care and quality items, then thats who is going to get my business.


    all the best,
    mark, a very happy mtc customer

    Hi,
    I am not "slagging" the scope's as you crudely put it just merely making a statement of fact. As I said in my original post apart from very minor issues a very good scope when new. Only after four years use it has developed spotting on glass, apart from Hawke I have not had this issue with any other scope.

    After owning both my Vipers for around four years I did not think any warranty would still apply. Both my scopes come from very well known stockist that only gave a 12 month warranty with the product.


    As the term of ownership had been so long I assumed it was a fault I had to live with, or budget for replacements.


    If I were to purchase replacements has this fault been corrected with the newer scopes?

    There should have been a manual in the box. I wrote it. There is a crappy website. I wrote it.
    Both state the warranty terms clearly.

    I am not one for giving advice, but if it were me I'd be a reading

    My dealings with Mtc

    My scope took a knock a few weeks ago i sent it off to Mtc they had a look and it was fine, i told sammie to put an invoice in the box when they returned it.....no invoice in box
    Good customer service and thats why i have two Mtc scopes on my rifles
    Thank you Mtc

    ps Gary/Sammie If you just forgot to put invoice in box please send me bill

    would the cost of repair be uneconomic? as labour charges are so high.
