silentsoulsleave308holes Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 any reason why you need a 30mm tube and 50 front lense???????????????????? just a thought and thinking it would widen your options but you may want to consider the following 1) a 30mm tube does NOT allow any more light in (its just a myth) both 1" and 30mm have the same size erector tube inside and you see the image through it. in a 30mm tube the erector tube has more avaliable movement so it would normally have more dialling 2) leupold did a test between a 40 and a 50mm front to see if the bigger front lense lets in more light, it did but not enough for the human eye to recognise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob tail Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Hello Jamie, Just something i fancied having really no specific reason for it, i would consider any good scope with target turrets though. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Chris, if you can have a look at Falcon and MTC scopes. I was a diehard Leupold fan up until a few months ago until I had a look through both these. I've just bought a Falcon Menace 4-18x56 for my vermin rifle (.204) and am very pleased with it. The optics are every bit as good as my previous Leupold (VX3 LR 6.5-20x50) and I really like the turrets and ret (MP20) . As a daylight varmint scope I thinks it's a brilliant, especially when you consider it was around £220. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 even though the mtc and falcon scopes are good for the cash they aint no leupold, the mtc dont dial correctly and the falcon i had sprang a leak,i have owned 3 x mtc and found the mamba (hunting turret) no 4 reticle 4-16x 50 the best.deffo look for a leupy chris it will outlast you.
