    viper 4-16x50

    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

    I have one of these, I am a fussy old sod and I have found this to be remarkable value for money, I rate the turret system as one of the best I have used, the sidewheel is better than my Nikon, optics are very bright and clear, better than Nikko and on par with Bushnell Legend to my eyes, although eye position is critical at highest mag (as it is on most scopes) but as I only use max mag to look at bullet holes that doesnt worry me

    The big problem for me is what gun to put it on, I think .177 air rifle for now as I want to try out that rather nice ret, I will probably eventually put it on a .308 where the holdover ballistic lines would also be rather handy at longer ranges, although as that rifle is stainless I will probably go for the nice blingy silver 3-12 version

    Also a very nice looking scope in a Tactical sort of chunky way

    Well done MTC

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me how the locking turrets work? Do you push them down or do you slide down a ring or something? And do they have indication marks as found on most sniper turrets that tell you how many turns the turret has made.
    Thanx

    The turret markers have a lockring which is much better than usual three grubscrews and the turrets have to be pulled away from the scope to turn then clicked back to lock, an excellent system that has been patented I am told and for good reason

    Gary, would it be possible to produce the instructions as a downloadable file (pdf)?
    Or build them into a page of your website?

    This may save you postage etc, and allow people to download copies as they wish.
