    Was zeroing the Taipan 6x24x56 AMD on my mates .17hmr earlier this afternoon.

    Really impressed with the whole package including the mounts. Very good quality glass and had no problem seeing the .17hmr holes at 100 yds in low light conditions (about 5.30pm in the pouring rain) at full mag.

    The finish ( as has been said before) is real quality.

    Very good service from MTC as this was a replacement for the equivalent model Viper (+£25) which had faulty illumination.

    Bullbarrel brought one along to the range today, 6-24 flavour, and I must say I was mighty impressed. I'm not usually a fan of big, high mag scopes with IR's but the reticle and optics looked good and clear, even on full mag in the 25yd indoor.

    I shall be ordering one to straddle my .223 me thinks.

    I'd also like a fixed 10x (Viper maybe) on my HW100, is there an AMD option on that as well, or is it just the christmas tree variant?

    Ah ####...just driven over my Viper....bugger!!!

    Looking forward to tryingteh AMD out.

    The really nice thing is I am not keen on Mill dots as I use all .177, so all of my scopes no bar 2 have SRB on them.

    There being no numeric difference between the AMD and SCB there will be no problem hopping between the 2.

    I will of course wait for the rest of you to do the testing before I buy a taipan...need a bloody good excuse too having just bought 3 mambas, and anpther MTC scope in the mix
