I've used MTC mambas for 5 years on my .22,222 and 243, I've always defended them and told people how good they are,
that was until recently when I went to look at a roe doe 200yds away one morning. All I could see through the scope was WHITE, no Doe, no nothing.
at that point I decided to upgrade and I was lucky enough to buy a German S&B 8x56 for just over £300 on this site.
When I looked through the scope I realised how poor the MTCs really are, when out lamping the clarity of the sight picture is incredible and I can probably ID targets at least 50yds further out and when sitting in the high seat I get an extra 15 minutes of shooting time.
on a .22 or HMR these scopes are ok but for serious centre fire rifles save up a bit longer and buy better glass
