MTC Mamba

[Gary C]

Interesting review Baz , any ideas why the low profile turrets are being used or it it just for using other scope mounted products ?

Low profile is less obtrusive therefore inherrently more robust. Target turrets and low turrets offer different advantages innit?

[baz]

And you can get more rifles in a cabinet if fitted with low turrets

[Gwylan]

Any news about availability?

I think thats why some models of the Mamba have removable IR unit

They are available now and in my opinion are one of the best hunting scopes bar none, for the scope brand snobs amongst the shooting world I reckon if I showed them a Mamba and told them they started at £800 and it was the type they wanted they would buy one immediately

hi lads, the removable iluminator?? can it be changed to different colours??any chance of some pictures of thes bud??they sound good and i guess the lads wouldnt mind a peak at them..if you have a spare 5min..i aint seen them yet but if there up with s&b and there like a quarter of the price there apsolute bargains..ok bud good review pop some pictures up of all of them if you get 5bud

Nothing is like a S&B, except a S&B

But, having looked through a Mamba, it is a superb scope. Not sure the point about the removable IR unit (why not leave it on, it is very unobtrusive anyway). To my eyes it is 90% of the quality of my Bushnell 4200 Elite (optics-wise).

S&B are the only scopes with their own league IMO something to do with crystals or something

As for 90% of the Elite 4200, you are nearly correct, I actually know its 100% though I had a chap round here a week or two ago who repairs scopes for some companies that shall remain nameless but take it from me they were very expensive but not European

He told me a few things about glass which went into techno mode, most went over my head but he rated the MTC glass as better than a make whos range starts just under a grand and exceeds it by several hundred

I was testing two rifles yesterday, one a brand new Tikka that shoots like a shotgun had a Leupold LR, the other a Howa fitted with a Mamba, to my eyes the Mamba snuffed the Leupold at 1-200yds I was shooting and the Howa slaughtered the Tikka in accuracy, not bad for the cheaper end of the market

hi i purchased 2 of these scopes at midland game fair sunday good helpful people to deal with.
Im sure you wont get more for your money elseware you can look at them on web at MTC OPTICS.

That explains the Nikon honcho who was poking around the MTC stall on Saturday.
I would never have known who he was, until Sammie told me that he'd visited them twice to check their range out.

[Gwylan]

Baz.... was that a Lamb Tikka, or a Chicken Tikka you were checking out?

Had a look through a bunch of these scopes yesterday at the MGF. Very nice optics. Target ret had me in 'raptures' ......

Have ordered some, and will test with NV ASAP.


I really hope they work with NV, lovely scopes.

cheers me dears

I've a friend who has recently put a Mamber on his 10/22.

Lovely optics, the only thing i did'nt like was i could see the internal screws inside the eyebell.

It was almost as if there was a sleeve missing?

Another friend has a different mamba but you can't see any screws?

Yes.

Not all good news I'm afraid. Bit reluctant to comment as these are otherwise near PERFECT scopes. I like the glass, love the ret. Weight is good. Overall you can tell a shooter was involved in the concept.

I think the Digital system has a thinner lock ring so maybe fitable to the Mamba, but an unmodified DSA cage isn't going to fit correctly at this time.
