MTC Viper Connect

[Kyoto]

With low/medium mounts & the wide FOV of this scope I was wondering whether the barrel of the rifle showed in the sight picture?

Also what is the all up weight including the mounts?

Hi Ken
I have one on my MK3 and it doesn't on there

[wayne509]

Mine just arrived and first impressions are wow.....so very clear. More like looking through a camera lens than a rifle scope.

Focused easily down to 3 or 4 yards in my lounge

Have quickly chucked it on my MK4 ( isn't for that rifle ) but doesn't seem to be able to be mounted quite far enough back for my liking. I think if i used the single shot tray and mounted it lower this may not be an issue. Not too fussed as it is for my verminator so will reserve judgement till then.

My previous scope was a Nikko Stirling Gameking which i thought was good but the sharpness, brightness and clarity of this scope are amazing to a newb like me.

Function over form and all that but this scope does look kind of weird and will take some getting used to

Overall very pleased

Thanks Gary

I've been thinking about one for my Wolf, which at the moment has a Mamba Lite 3-12x44.

Is the weight with mounts about the same? Circa 22 oz?

I've got one on a mk4 on low mounts and the barrel does show on 3x and 4x zoom, any higher and it doesnt. It was the same on my wolf, Thats on low mounts again though.

I don't mind it at all though.

Oops..I never thought to try it on x4 or below The FOV is so wide that I only ever use 5 and 10x

Not too different Ken, but the weight is further back so feels much lighter

Glad you like it, Mr Doubting Thomas

Just back from the range Gary and absolutely loving it. I will have to figure out how to move it back a little bit but the sharpness and reticle are superb.

Everyone that shot my gun commented how much they loved it.
A bit more mag was the only criticism from some but the range is only 25m and i found 10 x perfect.
I reckon a few will be treating themselves to a nice new Xmas pressie


Now what do i sell to afford one for the other gun

I've been experimenting with fitting the little blighter on a variety of air rifles and came close to throwing the scope out of the window at times. On a Rapid Tactical, I managed to get it roughly aligned with my right eyeball after removing the rifle's adjustable butt pad and sliding the comb as far to the right as it would go. If I could only have had part of my nose bridge surgically removed and induced Theoben to make a set-back 30mm mount, the combo would have been range-ready. Luckily for my sanity, the Connect fits much better on a new-style HW100KT and, once I can source some significantly lower mounts, this combo will be very promising. I'm finding the exit pupil on the top mag setting to be very tiny indeed but, on 3x, the thing comes up to the eye quite readily without too much faffing about. It's a shame the bullpup concept fizzled out, as this scope would be ideal.

Just fitted the connect to my verminator using a weaver rail and weaver mounts and it is superb. Looks a bit odd but seems to suit this rifle better, looks wise than the MK4. Used it today for 100 or so pellets and am so happy with my purchase. With the verminator you can offset the butt section slightly allowing me to keep my head in a natural position.

Just checked mine, minimum focus distance for a sharp picture at 10x is 7m.
