MTC Mamba Lite 3-12x44 SCB

[LANKY MK]

i bought a lite about 4 weeks ago and am happy with it except for one thing which i only found out tonight via uttings,and that is the mamba lite according to uttings website is NOT waterproof or fogproof,if this is the case i find it strange that the mtc cobra scopes are and yet the mamba lite which cost's 3 times more is'nt!

i allways thought they were waterproof & fogproof so ive just had a quike check on the MTC website and allthough i cudnt find anything specificly for the lite the normal mamba is waterproof & fogproof so i wud have thought the lite version is too

i could'nt find anything on the mtc site when i was looking to buy one so i assumed they were water/fog proof like the standard mamba's but according to uttings out of all the mtc scopes the mamba lites are NOT water/fog proof,if that is the case i would now view my 'lite' as being rather pricey

I reckon that's an error on Uttings part. I've had my Lite well and truely soaked and used in some mad old weather conditions, if it wasn't waterproof/fogproof then I'd expected to have noticed by now.

Can Gary clear up this water proof / fogproof debate please (before the speculators arrive)

i don't think it will make much difference to me personally as i doubt i'll be taking it out in the rain anyway but i would have thought for £160 it would be water/fog proof unless as has been said it's a mistake on uttings website!

Yes they are water and fog proof, although not for immersion in water obviously because they are moisture not pressure seals
