Salop Matt Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Okay folks, I have what I would describe as poor eye sight so any help from scope quality the better and much appreciated by me. So what am looking for is to go on a FAC air rifle, what I have in mind is a new MTC Mamber lite at £149 but what to know what it's competitors might be but I want to keep price down hense I've had to rule out the falcon I was looking at ! So being FAC air I will be working on ranges from say 20 - 70 yards from a zero of 50yards. So what else should I consider before I purchase ? ATB Matt.

chrisjpainter Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Sidewinder Tac is also almost twice the price of a mamba lite! The Hawke panorama is a possibility for sure; although i've not been a big fan of the AO lenses, which is why i like the mamba range! i find the AO a bit difficult. The Hawke Varmint might be one to look at too, which is about the same price as a mamba lite. That has a half mil dot reticle which is jolly nice, but i'm loving the SCB ret on my mamba lite. The one thing i have heard of happening with the mamba is a bit of an issue with 'white out' when looking near to the direction to the sun. I think Secret Agent Mole mentioned something about that, although that might be due to the wider tube of the mamba, so not a problem with the Lite. hope that was of some use!

steve_b_wales Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 The HAWKE range of scopes are very good value. Bought new, most of them carry a 10 year warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant8681 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I have a bushnell sportsman 3x 9x x.40 for sale if anyone is interested..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yes the other half had a Mamba that went white out when you shot facing the sun. So she went Hawke Nite Eye, not side focus either. She had a go with the Mamba and when it was not flaring out the SCB reticle was very good, however she also likes the Hawke SR reticle!

Chr15j Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Go for a used mtc viper perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
