    Compatability with HW57

    Does anyone know if the smaller version would fit on a HW57? The pop up loading gate and sufficient eye relief are my concerns. I love the SCB ret and have never been able to get one one my favourite little springer.

    Many thanks

    i got the distance off google earth, ive never paced it out so it could be abit shorter depending on googles accuracy. I'd certainly guess its over 150 yards though.


    time for a laser rangefinder methinks

    It will do, its using 3x zoom, so if it looks 50 yards it'll really be 150

    Mark, great review mate, really appreciated.

    I was only "enjoying" my Viper the other day, and wishing I had not bought such chunky monkeys for my other rifles.

    To be fair, the viper is chunky, but It was bought for a rifle that is used almost exclusively for laying up after rabbits with a bipod, so it is ideal.

    The SR6 Hawks I have really make the poor little Huntsman top heavy, so it has a 30/30 Nikon on it at the moment.

    This is good, but does not really do the rifle justice.

    I also much prefer to use anything that is side PA these days, so the mini mamba is perfect.

    Better start creeping to the wife....

    Fair enuf

    Your comprehensive review inspired me to buy a s/h MTC Mamba form the forum. So thanks very much.

    Great and very helpful review.

    Do the turrets click in and out to lock/unlock on this model?

    Cheers

    They are slimline capped type so no need to lock. As per traditional turrets,not target turrets.
    They are the same on a standard Mamba too.
