MTC Viper Connect

[banksy!]

Then I took it out hunting & things weren't quite so good. The sight picture seemed over contrasted & harsh & there was a pronounced vignette effect around the perimiter of the glass.

I also found that I was constantly on the side focus which seemed overly critical of even a slight change in range. I honestly thought that the 'scope was faulty & returned it to MTC for checking. It came back with a clean bill of health, but to my eyes it was still as before so with some regret I sold it.

I agree with this, the depth of field is very narrow. The vignette effect is there but doesn't really bother me.

After using this scope a lot more now I have noticed it is very good in low light conditions!!
I now have a problem-I want another Connect scope!!Think I'll get a AMD reticle one next time!!
Superb scopes!!!!

I agree with this too! The VC has great low light performance.

Well I have had two connect scopes the first with amd recticle was great no problem getting the recticle to focus so being the way I am thought that the scb recticle would be better for hft very disappointed unable to get the recticle to focus great service from bar refunded my money no probs just wondered if the scope was faulty bar said it was fine don't think there was enough adjustment to focus the recticle I have got bad eyes for reading but don't wear glasses for shooting

I agree with Poth. The diopter adjustment could do with being more, we are working on it

Is this a problem only with the SCB reticule? Mine has the AMD reticule and is pin sharp.

Nothing to do with the ret, the dipoter adjustment compensates for variations in eyesight and if your eyesight is too long sighted the connect may struggle

Would be nice if you could put a half mill dot recticle in as we'll like the hawke half mill dot fantastic recticle recon they would sell by the bucket load I would certainly go back to one as there was no parallax error due to being so close to the scope depth of field could do with being a bit more as well another 5 yards and it would be the perfect http scope

AMD is half mil dot, and DOF can't be designed in
