Undoubtedly, high-profile marketing always helps, but any fair assessment of the MTC optics brand has to conclude that their products are invariably thoroughly researched, and slickly presented. I tested one of their Mamba models way back in 2007, and whilst I remember the glass being of particular note, the overall profile was rather basic. A few revamps and make-overs later, and today’s comparable model is a different animal, so to speak.

On test here is the MTC Mamba Lite 4-16x42, and this versatile spec’ comes supplied with special flip-up lens caps (more of which in a moment), multi-coated lenses, rear fast-focus, parallax correction, the SCB2 reticle with central illumination, and low-profile turrets.

I couldn’t resist checking some figures with this scope, and it’s a point worth making that this later model actually weighs the same as that original standard Mamba from MTC – surprising given the ‘Lite’ label. Admittedly, it’s a slicker offering altogether, and now sports a one-inch body tube, compared to the original’s 30mm tube, but various features have now added weight along the way. .
