MTC Optics viper 4x16x50

[Gary C]

On the down side they need to sorting out the fitting for AA.

In what respect Dave? please elaborate.

If you mean the mag access with respect to the sidewheel, or the size of the mounts I can answer both.

Future scopes will be supplied with medium / high mounts.
You can't easy mag access from the left AND a big sidewheel. The good thing about our sidewheel is that if you need it at night / cold days you can slide it off easily to access a mag

It’s a great scope the way the wheel comes of and all that.

The problem the chap at club has is with the front mount on a AA410, it won’t allow the scope back far enough to get good eye relief. These are the mounts supplied with the scope im on about.
Now a reach forward turned back towards the butt and it all sorted.

Bright and cheerful.

Cheers
Dave

Ahh

Thanks mate.

The first batch of scopes is being supplied with low mounts. The problem is second guessing what the shooter wants - if we supplied high mounts a lot would complain that they were not comfortable. It's a no win situation.

I think we may change to highs on next years production.

Is there much difference in brightness between the 44 and 50 objectives and would a 50 fit ok on a HW97 with regards to the loading port?

I agree its a no win. but if people read this like i do before i buy they should get it right first time.

I use a bushnell elite 4200 and the viper was very clear and a good saving.

Sounds very good for the money I have to say,reticule looks interesting too!

[JUMBO]

how do these scopes compare with the bushnell legend 5-15x40,not being anywhere near to a place that stocks the viper scopes to have a look myself.but on reading the opinions in this thread they do seem very good value.if you read this gary could you please send me some price details on the 3-12x44 and the 4-16x50.
thanks

I would appreciate it if someone could pm me a price for the 4-16x50 & order details. Will the mounts supplied fit a CZ452 varmint with enough clearance for the objective bell/barrel ?


Thanks john
