A PROPER COPPER

MTC Optics names its telescopic sights after various snakes, and after bringing out some larger models last year in the shape of the King Cobra, the company downsized its most recent releases with the new Copperhead line of smaller scopes.

The Copperhead range launched with a pair of second focal plane (F2) models – the 3-12x44, as seen here, and the 4-16x44, priced at £300 and £315 respectively. These inaugural Copperheads offer pull-up/lock-down elevation and windage turrets, side parallax adjustment from infinity down to 10 yards, a fast-focus eyepiece and flip-up lens covers.

MTC equipped these scopes with its new AMD2 reticle, with uncluttered graduations for easy trajectory and wind allowances. There’s also an illuminated central crosshair offering six brightness settings.
