    mtc optics 6-24x56ir

    i was at the daystate factory and bought a n mtc 6-24x56 scope while i was there.
    its a big bugger and its a nice soild feel to it.
    positive clicks on the lockable turrets, zero dials that can be reset and a smooth feel to the mag ring and side p.a.
    it came with a sunshade or after tonights drenching, a bucket. mounts that fit perfectly. a sidewheel was there to which ill fit in winter so i can pa with gloves on.
    the scope was placed on top of my airwolf and i took it out to zero. a ten minute job because theres enough clicks to get the scope dialled in without any packing.
    its clear to the edge and will focus down to around 20 ft on 6x. on x24 its still sharp with no distortion. no reflection from the inners of the scope either, unlike the ags etc.

    thats 2 vipers now and im looking at buying a 10x44 next.

    Agree with the above. I bought one & was so impressed with it I bought another.

    Try Dogfox or Baz on here

    I have them on both but my opinion isn't relevant

    I have one these on a 17HMR.

    I think that for the money it's excellent, but its quite fussy on eye relief at the high mags (I have a 4-16 as well and this is nothing like as bad), your eye position really has to be spot on.

    I think the reticle is absolutely top notch and works very well out to 200yds+ on the HMR.

    My only other criticism would be its size and weight, I personally would have preferred a Mamba, but they don't do one with the higher mag.

    I have stuck one on my .223 AR15 and had it out to 300yds last week, very impressed used to have a EB Sniper 10x42 but fancied a bit more magnification.

    Would you be confident to try it on a .308?

    I have to say it is one hell of a scope for the money.

    It is nice to have a ret that is not only sharp (and usefull) but also has an IR that stays sharp.

    I was not that familiar with side focus, but as this one is being used on a bipod'ed rifle more often than not, it works really well.

    I remain constsantly surprised at how well it works at very low light. Often you can barely make much out, quick squint through Mr Viper, and it all becomes clear.

    What I have found is that if I focus the ret with teh IR on (at night) it gives a very sharp focus during the day. This was a trick we used to set up old CRT projectors, getting the line as dim as we could, and it seems to work well.

    The IR does not seem to bleed either like some others, and stays very sharp.

    Cracking scope, well worth the money and another will be bought....when I get my Rapid....some time next year at this rate

    PS.....if you are into tree ratting, check out the Connect 01. Looks odd, but if you can get on with it, there is sod all like it for tracking tree rats through the trees and gloom.
