New MTC Optics King Cobra FFP 6-24x50 Review!

The custom dip on the Concept is very, very nice. Good scope review too.

PLEASE!, review the SWAT 12 power.

15 yard minimum ... So much for MTC getting back to where the excellent VIPERS left off .... A Scope one can use in FIELD TARGET.

Looks like nothing more than an Objective lens jump from the next generation EVX F1's 44mm to 50mm while losing 5 yards on the low end of parallax.



Is what it is ... wish them luck however.

I have a Viper here - and I shoot a LOT indoors and at 10m
I can't focus that one down 'closely enough' either.. Definitely another buzzkill..



Sam -

Maybe it just wasn’t intended as a field target scope? They can sell different models to different customers.

Point simply being another missed opportunity for the Field Target community and it being what looks like just a big objective EVX F1 ... Opinion only. 

I have a couple of the $649.00 MTC VIPER PROs 5-30x50 10 yard minimum focus kinda blurry past 25x... Don't know how reliable those neat elevation turret dials really are when clicking for every shot... YO!

I have this scope the king cobra f1 and it's amazing great glass best mtc made this far am very happy with it 

I appreciate MTC coming out with a FFP scope. Good.

I appreciate that MTC allowed the turrets and the reticle of this scope to talk to each other. No MOA reticle talking gibberish to the MIL turrets.  





However, I don't know who wrote the scope description that I read on one of the mayor AG sellers (probably others have this as well...).

But who were they trying to kid...?



When promoting its parallax distance they write that the scope is "suitable for airgun use" — and we all know that when someone specifically mentions that the parallax is "for airgun use" we understand 10 yards minimum. Otherwise don't say anything, state "15 yards" and done.



Now the scope writer can say that the scope is for "close-range shooting" and get away with it. — But to say that the parallax of this scope is for "ultra-close-range shooting" — well...

Stating something does not make it so.

STATING SOMETHING DOES NOT MAKE IT SO!



Where is the difference between a miswording and a lie?  





The UTG BugBuster series of 3-9x and 3-12x scopes features a 3-yard parallax minimum. Close enough to bust bugs in your yard.

If UTG were to say this scope is for "ultra-close-range shooting" they have the right to. Because I know of no scope that focuses this close — and that's the correct meaning of ultra — to an extreme in comparison to the normal.  



Let's all be truthful and leave the word twisting to the politicians.

I like the Concept Lite but I've never liked MTC scopes. JMHO

15-yard minimum parallax is when the scope is set on 24X. Do you need to see a 10 yard target at a full 24 power? This is a first focal plane scope so zooming down will bring the scope in focus while keeping the aiming point true at shorter ranges, from memory (as I don’t have one here) it will be clear 10 ten yards at 15x and 8 yards at something around 10x. 



It’s a real technical challenge to get a higher power scope to zoom down at these really short ranges while keeping the it clear and well-spaced out to infinity. That’s why many firearm scopes start later at 25 yards or even further.

I've been thinking about the scope in the OP .IF only the name was changed to just... Cobra
