jamesmacc Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 hi all, just ordered a mtc mamba scope with 50mm objective for my 455, it comes with mounts but im not sure if they are any good. i was recomended on here to get sportsmatch mounts and was just wondering if i will need medium or high mounts. cheers, james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet boy Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Get a High set of Sportsmatch mounts.Sportsmatch make excellent rifle mounts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 You could possibly get away with mediums - I had a 50mm WTC on my 452 on mediums with no problems. However, the mounts that come with MTC's are very good so I'd just stick with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmacc Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 i looked into it and there is an old and new type of mount, some of the older mtc's had single screw mounts that look poor quality , the new ones are double allen keys and look much more solid. if it arrives with the old ones then i will replace them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colster Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 was that a 30mm tube or 1". cheers Ah yes, that's a good point, it was a 25mm and it was close. Not sure a 30 would fit on mediums If it's the scope I think it is, think you'll find it's 56mm not 50 anyway, so definitely highs needed. There is a set of 30mm Highs for sale on the BBS atm - http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread.php?541208 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmacc Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 hi mate, its the viper thats the 56mm, the mamba is the 50mm one and has a 30mm tube. cheers for the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmacc Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) here are the mounts i got , they look to me like the new model as they have the 2 allen key screws. what do we think....keep them or order some sports match ones Edited June 28, 2011 by jamesmacc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
