    Following my initial review, and having used the Viper for a few months now, I can only confirm my initial comments that I made a wise decision in purchasing it.

    Like thousands of other keen shooters, I have used the scope both for field work and HFT competition and still feel impressed every time I look through its first class lenses. Having checked out the competition, and for that matter scopes costing three or four times the initial outlay of the Viper, I still reckon that it must be one of the best all-round scopes that is currently available, certainly within its price range and probably significantly more.

    Thats only comments concerning the scope. What you also get is a first class service from a company that genuinely looks after its customers, allowing the strong user base to remain loyal to its products as new models are introduced. Bottom line, in my opinion, is first class optics for sensible money.

    I have yet to check out the "Taipan" myself. However, even though I have yet to glance through its lenses, I know that it will be another quality product and as such I am in the process of saving up for one. In saying that, I also quite fancy a "Mamba".

    Why pay more for less?

    Good shooting folks,

    I'm having trouble with 'white out' with my 6x24-56 Viper at lower light levels. I've tried moving my head around and cupping the viewing lense to reduce light coming in from behind and even standing in a darker room to reduce light levels further. But I still find the the 'sweet spot' for viewing is so small that you are concentrating more on keeping your head still and being tense that the shot do you make is not relaxed and ends up being missed.
    Does anybody else have this problem and have a solution for this or should the scope be looked at to see if there's a problem with it ? I have two other MTC's a Mamba 4x16-50 and another Viper 4x12-44 both of which I have no problems with.

    I'm looking to put another scope on a BSA Ultra for HFT any suggestions ?
