    Rapid fit

    Well, I've just fitted the Connect to a Fenman on the standard 30mm mount, so it should go on a Rapid OK. There's about 4-5mm clearance between the objective bell and the metalwork beneath.

    what mount height you going to try to?

    I really want one due to the size and weight, perfect for hunting!

    No idea at present.
    I am just in the process of purchasing a verminator so think it will end up on that but will be going on my MK 4 for a bit of target practice tomorrow night if i get time.

    I have various mounts here but would imagine i will need to use high ones if i still want to use the mag on the MK $

    Don't think the verminator magazine sticks up much at all so should sit well on there.

    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?

    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.

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

    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

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