    Tried my 10 x 44 Viper this Sunday at Tawd.

    Brighter than any other scope I have used for HFT(Bushnel 10 x 40 and Leup EFR) I did have a little trouble with my aimpoints but have always used crosshairs and hold over/under. I now have to try different zeroing distances and sort my aimpoints and PA setting out.

    Didn't have any problems seeing any of Tawds black on blacks which has to say a lot for the scope.
    Overall very pleased with the scope and looking forward to playing/fine tuning the settings.

    Courier permitting, I should have mine tomorrow and it'll go straight on my X2-R. Will be in the 'tunnel' on Wednesday to get it zeroed ready for the Bunny Bash on Sunday.

    Good man!
    no such words as alot or ect, and do you really want to add a second 'o' in 'lose', unless you're talking about something that isn't very tight?

    Got mine yesterday - super fast courier service even got it over the solent and to my door in about 20 hours-ish - looks great, possibly even brighter than my 3-12 viper - and that's bright! My 97K gets back from V-mach on Wednesday and the two will be mated as soon as all the packaging is off - it will be air gun love Many thanks Gary and Sammie - a great scope from top notch folk

    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.
