Ive had a connect01 for a few years now and swear by it,yes its heavy and the eye pice steams up from time to time and the head position takes some gettin used to, thought it was the dog b****x until i tried the prototype connect02 at the midland gamefair last year!All those little niggles with old scope have been ironed out and the good points improved in most cases, cant wait to see if the new batch has arrived by the time the midland is on this year,ill definatly be getting one
