    Yes I've just ordered some. It will be tight over the mag but will hopefully just work.
    I was looking at the trigger position to compare like with like amd it looked very different. I will have another look.

    EDIT: well on his HW100 it looks like the gap between the two turrets is over the trigger (especially in the first photo), on mine the gap between the two turrets is about 2 inches behind the trigger.

    Arggh, was looking at Ash's Edgun, not Fullbandit's HW100.
    Mind you, mine is even further back than either.

    Here is a picture of one of mine on the Cutlas. Fantastic scope. The field of view is huge for such a small scope.

    I've said from day 1 the biggest factor in fitting the connect is the shooters neck

    if a different shooter liked his scope an inch forward you could use lower mounts

    fitted one to mine today and think it works better than the hawke i was using it on last night (Barry never told me he had the connect adapter with him till this morning)

    Connect for HFT

    Having taken a look through a connect on the MTC stand at Kelmarsh I have picked one up and am very pleased with it so far - I have it on my old RN10 and am trying this out for HFT. So far have done our club course with it with very good results - wide view does help you see what the wind is doing around the target much better than the standard scopes do - should help on gusty days and we get plenty of those....
    Will use it at the Bunny Bash tomorrow (40 target CHFT format) - if you have not tried one of these take a look - feedback from everyone who has tried mine so far is very positive.

    Connect seems to work really well for HFT - depth of field really good for the Classic HFT format of last weekend - could even see the pellet strick on a plate at over 60 yards as well as having a usable view at 8 yards. No noticable parallax issues either - just need to make some mods to the rifle and we are in business....

    Sorry to dig an old post up, but did your connect fit with those mounts mate?? A friend has a AA410 and is just about to buy a connect.
