viper 10x44

[dodgey]

was thinking of getting one of these but saw one today at the club a couple of us thought the same way that the finish is very poor especially on the turrets where it seems to come off too easily and then the scope looks old already and this scope was just out on its first trip so i was less than impressed !! i know this will not suit but just giving my opinion .

And what is your opinion on the optical quality m8 ,

optical quality looked good its just the standard of finish that seems lacking but that,s just my opinion i just like things that i own to look right but that,s just me mate atvb dave

[Steptoe 1966]

I have compared the optical quality against a bushnell and nikko sniper and it is as good without doubt.

Have just purchased mine at the barigain price of £149 from BAR, I had a look through Mr Blackjackblues yesterday, even though I own six scopes already I just had to get one.

I have one of these on a high powered centrefire, no problems at all, as for this poor coating complaints what are you using to turn the turrets, mole grips

The oldest Viper I have has been abused and fitted on harsh recoiling rifles and FAC springers it has been on several guns plus others before I got it to test to destruction, the finish is still as it was when it was new, apart from obvious ring marks which can be sorted in about five minutes with Halfords best matt black, the turrets are fine apart from a couple of tiny chips off the top edge which happens on all target turrets without covers apart maybe from the anodised type, BUT they can be touched up in a nano second, buy a black permanent marker

This spec scope with these optics would have been unbelievable for anywhere near the price even a mere year ago yet people still moan, aint life fun

I also find the ret perfect from 12ftlb to 4000ftlb rifles

Baz, it's best to run your guns in the mid-11 ft lbs - 12 is a bit hot really and 4000 might be pushing things a little over the top - you wouldn't want to get your wrists slapped by the local bobby, would you. You have been warned!!

[baz]

I have noticed that some gunbag zips snag on these large turrets which may well be why theres been mention of paint chipping

I bought the 3-12x44 Viper over a month back, but have been too busy to finish my own rifle and get it mounted and zeroed.

That time finally came this weekend.
Mounted on .223rem and zeroed at 200 yards, crystal clear optics, easily spotting bullet holes on paper, very nice indeed.

I took that combo out last night lamping on its maiden voyage and it accounted for 3 foxes, can't say fairer than that.

Another happy customer, thanks.

Anyone else had experience of this? Was planning on getting one, but if the finish is not as good as the merlin then i might just get another Merlin as i know how good they are.
Cheers.

Hi
yes I got 2 MTC vipers one 2 months old, the other just a week or so. Both are showing signs of black coating flaking off, not good Optics very good, I also think the reticle is very good, that's an opinion not shared by all.

If the finish was sorted out, a good scope would become an excellent one.

Hi Pepperdog

This is the first I've heard about problems with the coating on the Viper's, so if you or anyone else has a problem with the coating or anything else on their scope, please let us know so that we can put it right.

If we are not informed that there is a problem in the first place, then how can we put it right?.

So please, if you have a problem, don't just sit on it, give me a call

Its that attitude that's made me want to buy a Vipir, oh the reticule too, the freebies in the box and the fact that its a corking bit of kit!!!

Can't wait to get it now!!!

and if you do sit on it, and the coatings coming off, you'll get all flakey bits in your little bot-bot. Then where would you be?
