Looked through the Taipan this weekend. MTC glass which is ok for the money paid. Obviously there are better scopes around but often involve more of a price tag.

But in all honesty not a fan at all. The sun shade is flippin awful! Adds weight for what can only be described as a gimick and likely to become a real pain as the scope ages. The ret is altogether far too busy for my eye.

Personally when it comes to the Taipan I'd spend my money elsewhere

and I do own MTC scopes btw.
