i got mine off daystate & reading about it off this forum & a few others, but like all man made things it life some of them do go wrong.
& you only really hear about the faulty ones, as thats life for you.
i would buy another mtc anyday !, infact i am looking into the connect however hope they are going to do a nice 4-16 one soon.
but saying that is it good for hft coures ?, as my mamba is on the mtc rated x10 & i can shot fine with it ( well mt standards anyways ).
