JohnGalway Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Got the 4-16x50 Viper. On the side of the box "Optisan, Japan's Secret Optics." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRDS Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Scopes are fine but think of the space they take up in the cabinet and whether you have the spare room. Look at the Mamba range maybe as opposed to the Viper?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 These MTC scopes are made buy the Japs i was told they also make the glass for all your top scopes and i mean all It's one of those things that will never be proven one way or the other Winchester, until then it remains an urban myth. I would really struggle to believe that Swarovski, for instance, one of the world's leading crystal manufacturers would buy their glass in from a Japanese company? I am not gong to comment on the MTC's as I have never looked through them, they seem to get good press, but there seems to be a disproportional amount of them for sale secondhand for some reason? I was on the range at Minsterly a while ago when a loudly spoken 'expert' told his audience that Hungarian Schmidt & Benders have plastic inners to keep the costs down - truly amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRDS Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I would say a SH Hungarian makes the best value scope on the market by a mile, fantastic scopes and identical in performance to the German variety and I have had both (now just Hungarians).

But, I do know I own a Nightforce and an MTC Viper. I also know that at dusk and dawn the Nightforce is, in a word, better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
