    Red Squirrel Charity Auction *MTC King Cobra Prototype*

    I'm trying to raise money for Penrith & District Red Squirrel group, I recently went to Cumbria to see the work they do for an article that will be in the next issue of Airgun World and, so moved was I by the experience, that I decided to do something to try to help.

    Anyway, what we have here is abit of a special scope, very kindly Donated by Gary and Sammie Cooper of MTC Optics. It's one of the prototypes for the King Cobra model that they are developing at the moment.

    Sammie has dubbed it the Prince Cobra because it isn't at the exact same spec as the final Production King Cobra will be, This is a fixed mag 10x44, and the turrets are offset whereas on the Final Production version they will not be. Minimum focus is 15 yards on this one.

    Obviously, noone else will have one of these, its possibly the only one in exsistence as far as I know.

    Thanks once again to the good folk at MTC Optics for donating this.

    £40 start on this anyone?

    This was the scope demo'd at MGF which went down very well and was rated by Jim Tyler & doc Mike as excellent.
    It MAY WELL be a goer as we have found nothing better for the price.
    Thanks for bidding chaps, Tufty loves you

    Just a note to say thanks to all, finally managed to get my hands on this scope and it really is a bit of a cracker. Looks the greyhounds sphericals, lets hope I can do it justice!

    Just got to decide which gun to put it on, at the moment I think Wolfie is very much the front runner.

    All the best
