MTC Viper Connect

Used it today in a hft comp.10x mag 25ydzero parallax 25yds .I have to say @10x mag the killzones were looking alot smaller than any of my other scopes at the same mag. I think I might up the mag to 12x.
I will get my aimpoints worked out properly for both 10x and 12x and go from there.

I thought this when I first pickeda connect up, it's an optical illusion.

The reticle has specific measurements relating to the kill size, you can check these back to back with the scope you are comparing against. eg the 4 points on the central cross (+ and - 0.5moa points)touch the edges of a 40mm disc at 40y. When you have got this setting matched on both scopes, you are then comparing like for like size.
At this point, the target will still look smaller through the connect because you can see MUCH more scenery around the target. This gives the benefit of not having to look away from the scope for a final wind check before going for the shot.
Think about it logically, If the sizes you are looking at were not right, the physics of the pellet drop would not match where they are supposed to be on the reticle.

"the 4 points on the central cross (+ and - 0.5moa points)touch the edges of a 40mm disc at 40y"
Thanks for that useful tip Dave, any more

[Dave Ramshead]

er, yes - if the kill is smaller, it's further away.... or a smaller kill

same 4 points fill a 15mm kill at 16y (also coincides with my close range off crisp sight picture as a sanity check)

just a matter of a bit of rangetime and doing homework.

Thanks for that,more info for my little black book!

think you will find its MIL not MOA

correct, that's what happens when I post too early in a morning

Been on the "Stella" had we mate ..LOL

Thinking of getting this particular scope in AMD reticle for hunting.

Thats what I use on my FAC AirWolf, IMO a very good scope for hunting with an air rifle, with it's wide FOV.
