    I am planning to fit these to both of my rifles, one of which is a TX200SR. Does anybody have any doubts that it can handle the scope killer?

    Thanks,
    Paul

    Thumbs down

    was thinking of getting one of these but saw one today at the club a couple of us thought the same way that the finish is very poor especially on the turrets where it seems to come off too easily and then the scope looks old already and this scope was just out on its first trip so i was less than impressed !! i know this will not suit but just giving my opinion .

    I have compared the optical quality against a bushnell and nikko sniper and it is as good without doubt.

    Have just purchased mine at the barigain price of £149 from BAR, I had a look through Mr Blackjackblues yesterday, even though I own six scopes already I just had to get one.

    Anyone else had experience of this? Was planning on getting one, but if the finish is not as good as the merlin then i might just get another Merlin as i know how good they are.
    Cheers.

    Hi
    yes I got 2 MTC vipers one 2 months old, the other just a week or so. Both are showing signs of black coating flaking off, not good Optics very good, I also think the reticle is very good, that's an opinion not shared by all.

    If the finish was sorted out, a good scope would become an excellent one.

    Hi Pepperdog

    This is the first I've heard about problems with the coating on the Viper's, so if you or anyone else has a problem with the coating or anything else on their scope, please let us know so that we can put it right.

    If we are not informed that there is a problem in the first place, then how can we put it right?.

    So please, if you have a problem, don't just sit on it, give me a call

    Its that attitude that's made me want to buy a Vipir, oh the reticule too, the freebies in the box and the fact that its a corking bit of kit!!!

    Can't wait to get it now!!!

    and if you do sit on it, and the coatings coming off, you'll get all flakey bits in your little bot-bot. Then where would you be?

    Hi Sammie
    only slight signs of coating coming off around the turrets, at present just an observation not a problem yet. A few other people at the club have noticed a similar problem with theirs, mainly around turrets. At this stage I did not consider it worth making a warranty claim, as I would be without scope for a while.
    A point worth noting however, some perspective buyers at the club have been put off by this.

    Apart from this minor problem, its still a good scope great optics, great reticle, Also great value with all the extras.

    Regards Martin
