i bought a lite about 4 weeks ago and am happy with it except for one thing which i only found out tonight via uttings,and that is the mamba lite according to uttings website is NOT waterproof or fogproof,if this is the case i find it strange that the mtc cobra scopes are and yet the mamba lite which cost's 3 times more is'nt!

"Price aside, is this scope better than the Bushnell Legend? I'm torn between the two"


The SCB reticle is superb and for this reason I'm very happy with my Mamba Lite. For clarity of optics though for me the Bushnell is the winner. As are many of the AGS/Leapers in the same price range for that matter. Just my opinion.

i allways thought they were waterproof & fogproof so ive just had a quike check on the MTC website and allthough i cudnt find anything specificly for the lite the normal mamba is waterproof & fogproof so i wud have thought the lite version is too

i could'nt find anything on the mtc site when i was looking to buy one so i assumed they were water/fog proof like the standard mamba's but according to uttings out of all the mtc scopes the mamba lites are NOT water/fog proof,if that is the case i would now view my 'lite' as being rather pricey

I reckon that's an error on Uttings part. I've had my Lite well and truely soaked and used in some mad old weather conditions, if it wasn't waterproof/fogproof then I'd expected to have noticed by now.

Can Gary clear up this water proof / fogproof debate please (before the speculators arrive)

i don't think it will make much difference to me personally as i doubt i'll be taking it out in the rain anyway but i would have thought for £160 it would be water/fog proof unless as has been said it's a mistake on uttings website!

Yes they are water and fog proof, although not for immersion in water obviously because they are moisture not pressure seals
