viper 10x44

[Dunk1302]

does the 10 x 44 have an illuminated ret?

Hi Marc,

I'm hoping to get down to Shepreth on 6th May (probably to join, if you'll have me). I can bring my 10x44 viper with me if you can wait that long?

Cheers

Picked mine up from Blackpool Air Rifles today.

Mounted it on my HFT gun but found the mounts would not tighten on the rails. No problem, just filed a mm off the face of the mount where the tapped hole is and they clamp up fine. Look well sturdy enough for a PCP.

The reticle must be about the most practical for airgun use I've seen. Normally I use the crosshairs and hold over/under. Now into mil dots and part mil dots.

Filed a nail down to fit the little holes to tighten the lens covers up when I should have RTFM
Overall the scope looks tremendous value for money and I'm looking forward to setting it up and working out the range points.

So far very impressed.

Zeroed at the club tonight.
Windage two clicks out Elevation half a turn (6 thou shim under rear mount)

Reset turret scales to zero and locked off.

Our indoor range at 40 yds although lit can show poor scopes up. This MTC is as good as any scope I have, regards light, that includes a Leup MFR (larger one) and is equal to the small EFR Leup.

Adjustable PA was handy for checking at 10 yds and 40 yds to ensure no crossover.

Only have to check for best fixed PA position outside and then sorted.

Also checked the numbers on the PA wheel against a Laser range finder and on my scope they're pretty accurate.(out to 50 yds)
No way am I a scope expert but this one is excellent to my eyes. (going dim)

Would I buy another. Yes if I needed one.

I just put a 10x44 on my HMR, replacing the 3-12x44 (another cracking bit of kit) because I was using 10x most of the time so this simplyfies things, again great optics at a bargain price and same SCB ret, the brightness wipes the floor with the old Tasco Super Sniper 10x we used to rave about, I like the fact your eye needs to be in exactly the right place to see properly, it was easy to get it mounted so that my eye is in right place naturally

Zeroed at 100yds in half a dozen clicks, and I know the aim points to 250yds, another excellent scope from MTC

Mine arrived today, immediately very impressed by whole kit, optics are the best I've seen. Bought through Nickpan on here (very helpfull chap). Others are better experienced to give a comparison with other scopes, but to my mind they are terrific value for money, can't wait to get it mounted and zeroed

I'm just about to mount the scope on my Air Ranger (if the supplied mounts fit) Does anyone know the amount of shimming I'm likely to need? I ask as I have no way of zeroing at home and don't want to have to mess around with mounts and film neg: in "the field". Raygun mentions 6 thou, on his gun. any idea how many pieces of film neg: that would be?

I got mine yesterday, and it only needed one complete turn on the windage (right/left turret), and two clicks on the elevation turret (at 30 yards). No shimming necessary, and I used the supplied mounts, on my MK3.

Just mounted mine to my HW97 using Hawke medium mounts. Went straight to Pete`s Airgun farm to do some zeroing. It didn`t take long to get it zeroed at 35yds , from then on ,the rest of my aim points aren`t that different to my Bushnell 3200 10x40.
At first I was a bit disappointed that the focus wasn`t as broad as had been mentioned before ie: clear at 35, hazy at 15 and 45. This was sitting in the barn at Pete`s shooting paper to get aim points. But once I went outside and shot HFT targets the clarity , (with the paralax set at 25yds) is superb at 45yds and down to 15yds. The marks on the paralax adjuster seem to be pretty well spot on for ranges.

I would definately recommend the 10x44 Viper for HFT.
