nicely zeroed in 

Never liked the MTC range of scopes all to fussy to many lines everywhere and dislike more now that daystate owns them 

Cheers mate

 

I'm hoping it'll be a nice light(er) weight hunter.

 

These new SCBs are more fussy than the original version - I don't think that being finer helps, it seems to make it look more busy.

Hi Jon

is the new lite still 25mm tube?

and has it still no IR ?

i am glad they have sorted the ret out,and it’s thinner,as the old version is a bit bold.but it works great still.

glad your happy with your new fecked up purchase

Hi Davy,

 

It is still a 25mm tube. 

It does have IR but, it's an odd set up - it's not a dial to illuminate it - there's a button on the end of the parallax knob that you have to tap in the middle. I say it's odd because it's not a push button.

 

I did manage a short trip to the club today - to be fair, the fine ret does work quite well. I still prefer the original though.

 

All in all, it is a good scope

Looks nice on the rifle Jon.

I like the fine ret on it???

[bigmac 97kt 13,732]

I love the old mtc  range of scopes

and the old SCB IS THE BEST IMO

but after having a go on viz,s new mamber ,,,,,not now bloody awful ret

Just remember Jon the issue I had with the NiteSite Viper on my Mamba Lite scopes.

Spray some silicon on the inside of the rubber scope connector and allow to soak in overnight. As the recticle focus ring is bulkier than other scopes, you may need to hold the eye bell in one hand and ease the rubber sleeve on with the other as you can damage the scope.

My NiteSite sits really well and very sharp on the Lite so should yours mate.

I don't know if I'm just used to heavier set ups but, this didn't seem to add a lot to the rifle either - it certainly balances nice.

I'm the same mate

 

...... When I decided that I was having a TX exactly as I wanted it, there was only scope in the running - a proper original Viper SCB

I use the old Mamba lite scb scopes - I find them to be excellent hunting scopes.

              Forgive the photo but there`s the old scb ret`, very effective

A simply dot on the windage would be fine ,but no they had to confuse it with lines  , hate them
