hi Aaron
the mamba lite has a 25mm tube,so not as much light as a 30 mm tube,also you must mean 4-16X50 as they don't do a 4-16x44
the mamba 3-12x44 SCB is for General hunting & Target and the 4-16X50 SCB is for Long range hunting and target.so if your after more mag then the 4-16X50 is your choice,i have one of these and they are really good & crystal clear .but don't for get they don't do a side wheel for the mamba.just in case you don't know this also don't get the German A4 get the SCB ret far much better.
i have the 3-12x44 mamba 30"tube on my AAS410K.22 & the 4-16X50
