MTC King Cobra 8-32×50 F1 Scope
With First Focal Plane glass-etched AMD2 IR reticle
The MTC King Cobra 8-32×50 F1 Scope is this range’s flagship ‘super-telly’. It is especially suited for long-range shooting thanks to two things. First, MTC’s exclusive AMD2 multi-stadia reticle, glass-etched in the first focal plane. Second, its patented SMART turret.
About MTC Optics
MTC Optics is a premium brand in the optics world. Their mantra – Designed by Shooters for Shooters – could not be more apt. So their scopes are used by airgun, rimfire and centrefire shooters across all genres – sporting, hunting, plinking, target and extreme competition. MTC offers a vast range of models and designs to suit your every shooting need.
Construction and Design
The MTC King Cobra 8-32×50 F1 Scope is based around a 30mm, aircraft-grade aluminium tube. This is a zoom telescopic sight, with a variable magnification range of 8x power to a massive 32x power. Its objective lens is 50mm, so the target image is bright even in low-light conditions on the highest power.
Standout feature – AMD2 crosshair
The MTC King Cobra 8-32×50 F1 Scope features MTC’s own AMD2 multi-aimpoint reticle. This offers plenty of aimpoints to counter trajectory and windage deviation at long ranges, without obscuring the target. The F1 model’s crosshair is set in the first focal plane (FFP).
Standout feature – SMART turret
This King Cobra model also features a patented ‘SMART’ turret, with a micro gearbox. Rotating at a 2:1 ratio, three rotations of the top turret translate to a single rotation of the indicator drum. Therefore, it is easier to know where you are in terms of rotations. Also, the turret ‘window’ shows a customisable ribbon that indicates exactly the information you want. MILs, MOA and even yards or metres can be displayed!
Lens Covers
The King Cobra 8-32×50 F1 scope comes complete with a set of magnetic flip covers. Additionally, the rear cover contains a 2x magnifier. This helps you read the parallax and turret verniers.
IR Illuminated Reticle
The MTC King Cobra 8-32×50 F1 Scope comes with an illuminated reticle (IR). Operated by a side dial, the centre of the reticle lights up in red. Also, you can choose from six different brightness levels to suit any lighting scenario. So you can keep shooting long after the sun has dipped below the horizon!
The SMART turret scope features precise click-stop elevation and windage adjustments. These adjust in MILs. 1 click =1cm at 100m. A MIL-rated reticle can be used for range-finding.
Besides resettable verniers, the adjustment turrets are also lockable.
Sidewheel Parallax
Parallax error is a major cause of inaccuracy. The King Cobra is equipped with a sidewheel that lets you easily dial out the error. On higher magnifications, parallax adjustment can also help you range-find like this.
The King Cobra’s parallax adjusts down to just 10m. This is particularly useful for airgunners who often shoot at close range.
