MTC Viper 4x16x50

[Ettie ket]

i purchased mine second hand without the side wheel, objective cover, spacer and sushade missing, phoned mtc and the spares were only £18.00 posted plus the scope is good quality. thumbs up for me

I totally agree, I have had 3 of these excellent scopes and am looking for another, they are brilliant, very clear and represent excellent value for money

Hi,
I have two of these scopes both purchased around three to four years ago. I agree optics where very good for the money when new, both mine have now got lots of fine black spots on inside of glass.

My impression of these is reasonable price and good glass(when new) unfortunately don't seem to last. I have had 100% failure rate in my experience's with the Viper's, compared to a 5-15 x 40 Bushnell Legend I purchased around the same time(second hand) this is as good as new.

I did find the Vipers a very nice scope to use on airguns the reticle one of the most useful, unfortunately I expected a longer service life. Maybe I have been very unlucky with mine but would not purchase another.

So what happened when you phoned MTC, did they repair the scopes, give you new ones ?

I'm guessing they told you to go and do one as you have been left with unworkable scopes? Very bad business

i had mine when they 1st came out, i too have found that black spots are on the glass, which makes the image a little crappy, however i still highly rate them

Think he means to give MTC a call.

Oh and Falcon suffer the same issue too.
