    It does not appear to damage the scope itself but may damage the twisting eye relief cup. As long as you turn the eye relief cup in so that it won't be holding the weight of the camera on it etc on it it should be fine???

    Cool

    I don't know what these scopes are like with Night vision but as a day scope they are superb. I have two and my only gripe is that they don't also make a higher magnification version........if they did I'd not buy anything else.

    Bought one of these a few weeks ago and had a chance to use it in competition last weekend at the Rochford open.

    First off either you like the 'connect' part of using the scope or you don't; you put your eye right upto the eyecup much like using a monocular so there is virtually zero eye relief.
    Personally I love it even with glasses as you get repeatability on head position which is important when you can't adjust parallax, but also with the connect is that wide, panoramic, sky to floor, wonderful view.

    The view with the connect is like you've been looking through all your other scopes as if they're pinhole cameras, it's a relevation it really is that good and allows you to keep a good eye out on what the surrounding wind is up to.

    The reticle, mine has the SCB2 and it's pretty much perfect for me. I like fine reticles and the SCB is pretty fine but still more than visible even against dark targets in shade. Intersections are intelligent, I just wish I'd had time to range/shoot my 15-25yd mini kills before the comp as I was way off from what chairgun was telling me.

    The mounting is interesting as the double saddle means you either double mount the front tube or buy the dedicated reach back mount. Go for the reach back mount as it's worth it.

    The only negative I would say is that the clarity at the edge of the view is not as sharp as the centre view, but then this is probably due to how the optical system is set up in order to give you that wonderful view.

    For £250 it's extremely good value but I would say go look through one before you buy as it is a marmite scope.

    Didn't know you married someone called Dave.

    That wasn't in the magazines.

    Disagree entirely...it snaps off the twisty bit as you put the rubber tube on..also the rubber tube has to be a shortened version...i know i had a perfectly good scope put a ns200 on it and it was then fit for scrap as i could not sell it if i wanted to ..Never put an NS200 on a connect

    Just bought one, an issue with this scope is limited dioptre adjustment which for my eyes doesn't allow me to get the reticle sharp. I found a solution by finding a 30mm +2 close up filter fits precisely into the eyecup, and corrects the reticle into perfect focus. It does increase the mag very slightly, but its easy to wind it down a bit to restore the 10x if thats what you want.

    Hope this helps others who have perhaps given up on this scope due to the limited dioptre adjustment.
