For what it's worth....

Just picked up a new 3-12x44 lite from MTC.

Got it the next day and popped it onto the huntsman.

I have yet to get out and test it, but the balance is as it was with the nikon (which was nice) but I now have a brighter, sharper, much closer paralaxing scope with a meaningful ret that means I will now take it hunting and use it to it's full potential.

perfec, no point in saying much else as Mr kwicky has already done a great job, except that I compared the image against my nearly new hawk sidwinder 30 (SR6).

The hawk (which was significantly more expensive, has a 30mm tube, and weighs a ton) has some really iffy fringeing issues.....the little mamba does not....ergo, the hawks will all be going sooner rather than later (apart from the big noisy one living in the garden).

There is an interesting review by Jim in the new mag on the lites. Had I not already been convinced I would have bought one anyway.

Seriously functional value that does what it should, and does it well IMHO

Cheers Gary and Sammy

I love the big viper on my rabitting rifle, so it was an obvious choice.
