    Connect or Viper Connect?

    Folk have shot them off of .223 rifles, theeonly comment being that it would not work /be pleasant with glasses.

    I think the word is...at your own risk, which is why MTC dont recommend fitting them to recoiling rifles, but like you say, it can work, particularly if you leave the eye piece forward and dont use the bellows.

    I'm sure we have the viper fitted to a parker & hale mk4(?) in 7.62mm, up the club.
    Will check this weekend, if so i'm hitting a fig 12 at 1200 metres with no problem.
    Will double check this week end.
    I'm sure they say they have tested these up to 50BMG, on the paper work that comes with it.

    Hi Alan
    I think you are getting the Viper Connect mixed up with the Viper

    Hi Chris
    They'd be OK up to a .243 without glasses in perfect conditions, but the problem comes as soon as you get excited, it's cold and dark, whatever, and your head position is less than perfect. In that case you could end up getting a spit eye

    Has anyone tried a viper connect on a Pheonix fast fire with the 400cc bottle?
    Must find out if this works before buying.

    Cheers

    I have just posted some video footage using Sony camcorder mounted on my Viper Connect scope. You get an appreciation of the field of view and magnification range when used in conjunction with the camcorder.

    I have 2 mounts, one a 1 piece that has been trimmed down on the rear clamp and another which is a 2 piece but one mount has been milled to 8mm thickness.
    Currently the two piece is fitted to my Cutlas with connect scope and the one piece scope fitted to my Verminator with connect scope. Have also drilled and tapped the one mount so my N1000 will screw into the side. Will sort out some pics soon, as it is better to see then read.

    How does the minimal eye relief affect changing from sitting/kneeling to prone positiion. Is it a neck strain?
    Also how much of the SCB reticle lights up? I would be more interested in having some mildots visible in case they are needed.
