MTC EXTENDS PRISMATIC RANGE
Hot on the heels of the 12 x 50 model
launched in March, this year’s UK Northern
Shooting Show saw the arrival of MTC’s
second SWAT Prismatic model – a 10x30 that
the innovative scope manufacturer is
nicknaming the ‘Atom’.
Like its (slightly) larger sibling, the all-new
10x30 SWAT Prismatic is a little scope
featuring some big differences! SWAT stands
for Super Wide-Angle Technology, meaning
the Atom offers of a much wider field of view
than a conventional 10x magnification scope.
What’s more, it harnesses its highly detailed
sight picture courtesy of an ultra-short eye
relief and a concertina rubber eyecup, making
it particularly suitable for low-recoil rimfires
and air rifles.
Despite its diminutive dimensions – it
measures just 122mm from the 30mm
objective to the eyepiece – the squat 10x30 isanything but short on features. Its external
elevation and windage turrets not only offer the
much-favoured MIL-rated click adjustments,
they are also lockable and feature resettable
verniers.
Complementing a quick-focus eyepiece,
there’s sidewheel parallax adjustment to
eliminate aiming errors at closer ranges, with
adjustment down to 10 yards. The Atom also
sports MTC’s exclusive SCB2 multi-stadia
reticle, which can also be illuminated to one of
10 brightness settings.
Further versatility comes in the form of the
objective lens housing. This has been
designed to allow the fitting of many after-
market Night Vision day-scope adapters, thus
allowing the Atom to shoot around the clock.
A practical, magnetically-closed, flip-up
objective lens cover is included, along with a
special Picatinny-fit one-piece mount that
boasts integral tilt adjustment to alleviatescope-mounting issues and enable ‘optical
centering’ of the scope to the rifle’s bore.
Picatinny-to-11mm dovetail adapters are also
supplied.
Scheduled to debut in gun shops from late
July, the new MTC Optics
10x30 SWAT Prismatic
‘Atom’ has a target retail
price of £375.00.

Air Arms is alerting the trade to a
rogue consignment of the
company’s gunbags that are
leaking onto the market.
The bags were rejected by the
firm for being below the required
quality and not fit for purpose –
and were supposed to have been
destroyed. Now it would appear
that they were not destroyed and
attempts are being made to
resell them into the UK market.
Claire West, managing director
of Air Arms said: “The original
consignment was rejected by Air
Arms three years ago and these
products should never be on the
market.”
Claire is keen to point out that
the faulty consignment is very
poorly finished and the handles
on the bag and the zips are notfit for purpose.
She told us, “The bags carry
our logo and are our intellectual
property. We are not sure how
they’ve managed to re-enter the
market and we are now looking
at taking legal action against the
vendors.”
If you see or buy one of these
bags, please visit the Air Arms
website and leave a comment on
