MTC viper 10x44

[subaru swift]

i have 3 for these great for the money 10x44 vipers & i do some hft & plinking about & they work great for me, plus the white out helps me to get my head & eye right on the stock.

[freddered]

I'm on the verge of buying one for HFT. I've never used my Nikko Sterling 3-9x50 on anything but 9x magnification so it makes sense to go for a fixed 10x I think.

I like the reticule (although I suppose it would take a while to learn how to use it for full effect) and I like that it comes with Mounts and a sidewheel. Realistically those could be £30-£40.

Some complain of Whiteout whilst some point to HFT champions.

There's a definite opportunity for the budget manufacturers to produce a similar 10x44 AO scope. JSR, Nikko Sterling should be able to make something for £50 and it would fly off the shelves I think.

Until then, unless someone can think of a better scope for HFT around £140 then I think I'll get one.

Does anyone use these for hunting?

[eddiecos]

i use the 4-16 viper on 6 mag for hunting and the 10x and 3-12x on my hft rigs because i know the aim points.not the best scopes optically on the market but for value for money i think they are hard to beat.

MTC Viper 10x44 on its way from Uttings. Should arrive tomorrow...

Coincides nicely with my local club starting to hold UKHFT competitions in August. Perfect.

Hi due to your review i myself have purchased the viper and on first few tries with it im chuffed, got to agree with the op about the turrets being a bit hard to push down at times

[silver fox]

turrets are tight but at least you know they're not going to move on their own, have fun they're a great scope, got two meself.

I got one on my tx200 awesome scope so easy to set up

[Rex&Amy]

Thanks for the review guys as I was thinking of changing my 4-16x50 viper for the fixed 10x44 as my aim points can catch me out when i am trying too hard and also the fact that I have a damper mount on it. when zeroed at 30 yds 8 yds seems a bit mad as its 3.5 mildots and then 15 is half with the change over at 17 then just above cross hairs at 20, then cross hairs until 30. it has cost me a few points and also i cant really rest my cheek against the cheek piece with that set up. I was going to sell it on and buy the 10x44.

Had a conversation with Sammy at MTC today and she was a fantastic help and discouraged me from the expense and suggested trying lower mounts. I have checked the clearance i have. At present my mounts are 20mm high and it has 6.2 mm clearance at the lowest point of the scope. I am now trying to find the right scope mounts as close as i can to 14mm to address this and feel optomistic that this is going to help address my inconsistencies in my shooting.

Basically I think I have too much to think about before pulling the trigger as I tried good old uncle Harry's gun on sunday and it seems so easy compared to mine to get consistent shots. Basically I have to just touch the side of my chin against the same place on the cheek piece which doesnt lend itself for the best set up when your doing hft. Now I have the job of trying to find 30mm mounts with arrester screw that the manufacturers give the exact height. any pointers would be great.

[Rex&Amy]

I thought I would let it be known that I was informed by those that had tried what I was trying to do that it would not work as the gap was so minute. So I have now changed the scope to the 10x44 and it feels so wonderful. I am very hopeful that I have now got Amy well sorted ready for some seriously rewarding HFT shooting.

I hav a mtc mamba and it is truly amazing, not found a scope which can match the quality of the glass for less that £500

[Instant Gymnast]

I have a 4-16x44 Mamba lite on my TX and a Viper 10x44 on my R10. They were the other way round and things just weren't quite right. Once I'd swapped them over things just clicked. I really want to have a go at hft but spend most of my time either hunting or on the range. I too found the problem with the milkiness unless there was proper eye alignment but am working on my consistency.

This was one of the clearest scopes I ever owned,

regret gifting it to someone when I thought I was giving up permanently

In a compo, down at Kibworth,
Rainbow thought he would be fine,
Then he shot a forty-niner,
So he bought some fishing line.

Who''s yer daddy, who''s yer daddy
Cos yer shootings not so fine
Your rep is lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry...... FORTY NINE..

Great Review and it is a pretty nice scope, cant fault it so far.
