    New Member from Cheltenham with a question

    Hi Steve Harris; new member from Cheltenham with a question. Are there any other shooters / hunters in this area?
    I'm looking to purchase a new scope; narrowed it down to the following any advice would be appreciated. MTC Mamba Lite 3x12 by 44m or Hawke Varmint SF 3x12 by 44mm with 1/2mill dots. the scope is to be used with a NV Addon either Pulsar Challenger GS 1x20 or Cobra Merlin; not sure as new to NV. As both addons are Gen 1 will 3x12mag be enough or do I need to up to 4x16mag.
    Look forward to your replies.
    Thanks for your help,
    Steve harris.

    Hi & welcome to the BB's.
    Can't really help with the questions but I'll mention I have 2 Mambas & they are good VFM scopes.

    Hi Brian,(again),
    You really are a busy member; offering advice. You just helped me with Pulsar v Merlin and IR advice; and you didn't realise it but it's me again Steve Harris. Thanks for informing me that Mamba lite is fine for NV in 3x12x44; nice to know that they can handle FAC at 3x12mag.
    Regards,
    Steve Harris.
