It appears so, but it actually works very well.
You are only just over the water, pop over and have a look if you like sometime.
The only issues are that it may need higher mounts to clear a mag, but is not much worse than having a large objective conventional scope.
The likes of the HW100 can have the scope fitted very low if required as there is no mag to get in the way.
That said, Phil seems to get on fine with his on a Wolf, and my production unit will be going on a BTAS410k, which is not far off as regards the mag sticking up.
I should imagine that as both Sammie and Gary Cooper shoot airwolves, that the Viper Connect has been well and truly thrashed on a wolf....but I may be wrong
